If the business can’t continue without any one person, then the business isn’t sustainable as-is and that’s not fair to anyone. Hire more people if it’s coverage or train your people if there’s skill gaps. Documentation of systems and processes is also crucial.

This is it, and not only for PTO reasons. Anyone can get in an accident, get sick or resign at any time. As a manager you just cannot depend on a permanent all-hands-on-deck situation where everyone just works like a cog in the machine (as in, if one cog is missing the whole machine is down).

Running a company like that is terrible practice and a disaster waiting to happen.

Always keep the bus factor in mind (as in "how many people can get hit by a bus before the project grinds to a halt?") and plan accordingly.
