You can set up more than one if you're that worried about reliability,
but it's almost certainly overkill for a personal mail server. Also,
Linode offers automatic backups for an additional $5/mo.

Basically any VPS provider will assign you a static IP address as part
of the standard package. Linode gives you easy to configure PTR records;
most other providers probably do the same.

And I've never set up DKIM, SPF, etc. and yet I've never had problems
with people receiving mail from my domain. Results may vary, of course,
but I don't think it's a big deal as long as you aren't hosting your MTA
on a PC in your basement with a dynamic address from your ISP or
something.
