I have seen unexplained drop-outs for my direct uploads (not GWT) since 25 Sept and I see 4 files of mine created today with empty image text pages. I'd agree with leaving it for a day and trying again rather than spending a lot of time investigating.
If there is a pattern of failures of the same type, then the best thing will be to raise a Phabricator task request to analyse the cause. Perhaps the learning point is that GWT is not a guaranteed service, something to keep in mind if working to a schedule. If the backup plan is to find an unpaid volunteer with experience in alternative batch upload methods, there are only a handful active at any one time, and most of us are over-committed with a backlog of ideas and projects. Alternative easy workflows like Flickr2Commons are worth knowing about, as in a pinch you can "drag & drop" to a single purpose Flickr account and then mass upload so that the Files can go live to schedule, however this is likely to leave a problematic amount of "housekeeping".
