Maybe companies need some kind of "Chaos Monkey" system [0] in place for regular employees. Not in "terminating" random employee's contracts, but a culture were regular, maybe even some kind of random transferals onto other projects, or onto internal work regularly happens.
Everybody knows this and everybody should be prepared to a situation that tomorrow they are not working on the same problem they work on today. How would they structure work? How would they share knowledge? What can the organization to to ensure there always are fallbacks to everybody? At least fallbacks that if not perform at 100% but still on 80 - 90%.
Sadly in my org this would not work of the get go, as we often have personal access tokens to our clients' systems. This is sometimes even a contractual obligation as for specific clients we need to be vetted. But even in these cases we could be reassigned/reshuffled towards a slightly different proposition or at least be reassigned to an internal topic for a few days - just like we would not be able to work if we fell ill.
