Honestly with modern filesystems I haven't seen a need for a UPS. I've had unexpected power outages on my PCs more times than one might think (something something old house, animals and kids) and the most I've had was some ZFS errors in a temporary VM for some temp files that corrupted. Maybe I should get one for my home server, but its already entirely built on a shoestring budget so a UPS would cost more than the entire system
I've had to replace 5 SSDs (2x SKHynix, 3x WD) in the past 4 years due to being stuck in either read or write-only mode due to brownouts. A good DC-DC UPS solves it.
Ah brownouts would absolutely do it. Brownouts really kill electronics since its not no power but low power (assuming you mean the technical definition of a brownout) and most protection circuitry isn't designed to protect against lower than expected mains voltage/amperage/frequency
