Another solution is to accept that mistakes happen and do a phased rollout of updates. Heck, Windows Updates are known to be enough of a crapshoot that every place I've worked at, over the past decade or so, has had a plan for updating systems in batches. That CrowdStrike just YOLO'd their updates out (on a Friday, no less) to everyone at once, shows a mindset which didn't accept that bad stuff can happen.
