So, I need to replace it with something that offers high availability
for each phone number, aka "SMS long code." I realize that the phone
end will still suffer all the vagaries of SMS. But on the base end I
need high availability.

What about finding someplace offsite and setting up a persistent PPP
connection with modems (of the POTS variety) between it and home base?
Put half the modems there and maybe a low power Atom server with hooks
to send alerts like "connection to home hasn't come back after X
redials".

To do that, I'd need a way to assign the same phone number (SMS long
code) to two different modems, one at the first site, one at the
second. I'd welcome a lead on a phone product or vendor who can do
that for me.
