False dichotomy.  There is always something you can do.  Re-route the
traffic, throw the bypass switch, bridge the interfaces, don't use the
cache, downgrade, take preventive measures uptream in the flow...

i.e. let the sysadmin/system architect handle the emergencies.  The case
above is not different from squid box(es) going offline for whatever
reason.  Worst case:  Live through the outage, learn from it and
hopefully design your systems accordingly in the future.
