Hello Matthew, Solr cloud is not only for scaling (add more shards), but also for availability (add more replicas).
As long as you place the replicas on different physical machines, or VMs on different physical machines, or even some VMs in different DCs, you are as high available as you need to be. We used to place on VMs, even in different DCs, and that worked fine for years. The only possible downtime was human error. Now we place replicas on VMs on different physical machines in the same DC, which works just as fine.
