Ok, I understand. The usual way this single point of failure thing is
handled is to use something like a pair of HAProxy servers with
redundant network switches (i.e make the HA manager itself HA). While
this is a bit fiddly it is reasonably well documented and standard
(experienced system and network admins should have no difficultly
getting it to work).

There are also specialized Postgres related solutions for HA (e.g repmgr
from 2ndquadrant) that might be worth a look as well.
