If XFS needs dual power supplies and dual UPSs, what huge advantage does it
have that makes it worth putting up with this?

I believe it was designed for high-speed video feeds. So if you have
an application that needs lots of high-speed streaming data, XFS is a
great solution.

Also, most data centers setups have dual PS/dual UPS, so it is not big
problem for Enterprise Server users.
