My experience is not much flies under the radar anymore - this stuff is heavily automated and even legitimate content is often accused of infringing (I've stopped buying stock photos for example... because using them is likely to result in being accused of copyright infringement and proving you purchased a license is far more effort than they are worth).
https://github.com/github/transparency/blob/main/data/dmca/dmca_takedowns_by_month.csv
That's their DMCA takedown report (there is also a "transparency center" with pretty charts)... hundreds of takedowns every month, with some of them fought and re-instated. I'd bet smaller sites don't have any reinstatements. It was last updated 4 months ago, hopefully another update is coming soon.
Definitely a good idea to have eggs in other baskets but there's a pretty good chance all of them will be taken down at once and GitHub seems like it'd be more likely to come back if you have a defensible case.
