Nice! Way to go for non-prod environments. (For prod you'd need some redundancy at least.)

Quick question: how long would it take to provision and set up another server if this one dies?

Ideally these things should go in an Ansible playbook or whatever people are using these days to manage their pets.

I mean the availability of the hardware. It's a dedicated server, AFAICT.

At $55/mo, they could buy another server in another state.
