Doesn't matter, if traffic is blackholed at an ix then it won't be failing over to another one. Same effect
Route servers do not participating in the forwarding plane. If they fail, you lose routes from that exchange point which show up elsewhere. If peers are originating routes at exchange points and lose their backhauls, that's another set of problems your NOC can fix. If the exchange point switch runs out of ideas, that's another set of problems your NOC can fix.
The general case doesn't care about your network, it assumes you'd engineer that appropriately for the criticality and do something different/better if you need to.
Big assumption to make. Mark.
