The Staff Only function has many uses and a manager/server should not be punished for the duration of that time.

If the server is removed off the list then more questions will pop up about it - Where did it go? What's going on? Did they remove it? It's much easier for the players to get the "The server is for staff only". They'll automatically assume that it's being worked on and that will make them happy.

The time shouldn't last more than three days or so - that's plenty of time to fix any bugs and to repair any damage.

Justification for the Staff Only access is simple and understandable. I cite the most recent use of it with Era when the NPC Server died but the players continued to try and interact with the NPCs, thusly losing their items and money. Complaints became rampant so they switched the server.

I say to be wait for a little bit so they can do their job.
