Nobody's going to turn down having more drivers available :-)

I guess I could see a few options:

   1. a REST-only driver
   2. a driver that is configurable UDP 'or' REST
   3. a driver that is smart enough to use REST to fill in UDP gaps
   4. or maybe even something like wunderfixer as a standalone utility to 
   fill in weewx gaps by comparing the db with the WF server data

Power loss risk is easier.  Buy a UPS.  Put your Hub on it.

Old posts on the WF Forums from their engineering said that the old Air+Sky 
sensors could store 90-120 minutes if they can't reach their Hub.  The Hub 
stores 8 days of data if it can't reach WF servers.   So if you're 
concerned re: short outages then I'd UPS the Hub and ideally the weewx box 
if you could.    The new Tempest stations are similar enough those numbers 
are probably reasonable for the current gear.

Personally I kinda like the idea of (1) and (4) at least initially, and 
maybe (2) as a stretch goal.
