To be clear, you don't need to make it more complex / failure-prone. I didn't say failover needs to be automated.
Kubernetes or complex cloud services are not required to have some basic deployment automation.
You can do it with a simple bash script if you need to. It's just pretty surprising to see the reaction to a hardware failure being to wait around for it to be repaired instead of simply spinning up a new host.
