All of your eggs in someone else's basket is risky.

It depends on how highly you value your eggs. There are cloud providers who will allow you to replicate your eggs across geographically diverse, or even continentally divers, data centres. They'll charge you more for a greater degree of resilience but if you need that resilience it still likely works out cheaper than setting up multiple datacentres of your own
