Interesting point.

I confess I've never set up a ups for all this before, but I've read
about it ... I'm pretty sure you can instruct the ups to shut down, but
I don't know whether you can tell it to come back as soon as the power
is stable (possibly immediately).

I guess you could go more extreme, and have the ups controlled by
something else, like a battery-powered Raspberry Pi ... does the ups
listen for instructions in its 'down' state?
