"Terrestrial datacenters have parts fail and get replaced all the time."

This premise is basically false. Most datacenter hardware, once it has completed testing and burn in, will last for years in constant use.

There are definitely failures but they're very low unless something is wrong like bad cooling, vibration, or just a bad batch of hardware.

so you might have problems if you were to do something that causes a lot of vibration, like launch the entire data center into space?
