That's why you have your safety drone hovering above with your lanyard
attached.

That is what makes me have a pucker factor.. One of those with no
rails... Even with a harness, it's like nooooooooooooo...

Most of those have threaded bosses welded onto the top of the tank,
arranged in a circle around the top about 10’ off the side (varies by
tank capacity) that were used for construction and the internal support
rods while the tower was being built. They stick up about 4” over the
tank. We have used pipe-to-pipe clamps to grab onto those.
It takes some work to get the uprights to vertical, but with a bit of
cross-bracing it’s both workable, very sturdy, and requires no drilling
or welding on the tower and it’s completely removable if need be.
I suppose a picture is worth a thousand words:

We're in negotiations to get our backhauls located on top of some
local water towers. The tower in the best location is a hydropillar
tower without safety rails.
What's the best ways you guys have found to mount on top of these
beasts? Long term I imagine I'd have a dozen or so 1ft dishes on the
same tower. Do they sell magnetic mounts with enough bite to hold a
4ft B11 link?
