yeah. After talking on IRC with you it sounds like we are going to
change things so the koji plugin is the thing that directly talks to
the db, so it shouldn't result in any loss if the frontend is down.

It would.
Would this be useful for end users? Or would it be ok to have limited
downtime and they would just retry again later?
For starting we can have only one
instance. If we get enough requests
saying the users/tool can not have downtime then we might move to load
balancing.
