Yeah, but you get what you pay for. That m6gd.8xlarge would never be subject to such a long network outage as once the hardware fault was detected, it would be moved to another machine

You have to pay 2x for multi-AZ or you get downtime for upgrades. And DB major version upgrades require manual effort unless you want to roll the dice on their new blue-green feature, which can take hours to fail or finish cutting over.
Yup, and you also get to make AWS deal with OS upgrades, DB upgrades, backups, etc.
