And I guess a UPS that would supply power for more than 1/2
hour or so is going to be costly. So's a generator.

Should be cheap as not much power required to control the gas fired unit. Go
to any office or computer store and get one suitable for you unit - should
be under $100. You need to replace the UPS battery once every few years.
ahh check the current use of the tankless, if it uses a fan for exhaust
you may need a really large UPS.
My Takagi draws less than an amp maximum, and that's briefly while the
blower is clearing the exhaust after the burner shuts off; most of the
time it's much lower draw. Any decent UPS can handle 120W loads.
