If its set up correctly you can do updates and reboots whenever, without service interruption and don’t have to let your staff do night shifts just because the company is too cheap to do it right.

Reverse is a server reboot, fine at 3am. Nightmare fuel at 3pm.
I would argue the opposite. If you have to do it at night, it means your infra is not set up very well.
3am server reboot is fine as long as it is planned. Updates and such.
Yeah, this is more what i was thinking. I mean, if you have redundant DCs, those can get rebooted whenever.
