Smoke alarms should get you out before that stage, but you could also consider sprinklers over the escape route.

Has anyone here been through the same process
and come up with a smart solution?

Fixed and rigid ladders, so not dangly like rope/chain ladders. Also you step out sideways from the window rather than clambering over the sill.

Fire alarms to make sure you are awake.

Depending on the layout, a hose pipe in the bathroom suitably attached
could be helpful, as could some fire resistant clothing.
