there is a "diesel generator" for the server room, and redundant power
supply on "most critical" servers (our PostgreSQL servers for example). 

Router and Firewall (Soekris 6501) runs CARP / PFSync, same for 
the load balancer (HAProxy), local Unbound, etc

(Everything is jailed and managed by SaltStack, so in worst case scenario
I could always redeploy "something" (service, webapp, etc) in minutes on
$somemachine ..)

No, the really SPOF that should be fixed quickly ATM is the shared files 
storage, it's a NFS mount on a single machine (with redundant power 
supply) and if the hardware die we're in troubles (...)
