Netflix is good only on streaming ready made content, not live streaming, but;

1. Netflix is a 300B company, this isn't a resources issue.

2. This isn't the first time they have done live streaming at this scale either. They already have prior failure experience, you expect the 2nd time to be better, if not perfect.

3. There were plenty of time between first massive live streaming to second. Meaning plenty of time to learn and iterate.

They have the NFL next month on Christmas day. So that'll be a big streaming session but I think it'll be nothing compared to this. Even Twitter was having problems handling the live pirate streams there.

Is that a surprise? They're not who I would think of first as a gold standard for high viewership live streams.

Well, considering it was multiple small streams I would expect them to keep them up. No have their entire streaming service have issues.
