Mogstation they can easily do a maintenance without it affecting anyone much. Also lack of hardware can't be fixed with a maintenance.
Other games such as WoW have historically been able to do login server maintenance without kicking people currently in the game though during such time no new players would be able to login until said maintenance was completed. So one should hope that SE could do such for FF14 should they find a non-hardware solution to some of the current issues.
