Which raises a related question: How quickly do ATC controllers
receive the info that a facility is OTS for maintenance or other
such activity?


Pretty quick, as ATC must approve a NAVAID outage for maintenance.

And word of failures noted by the monitoring devices?

Also pretty quick, if the monitor is in the ATC facility. Somewhat longer
if it is not.

And pilot feedback? "No ident being received on XYZ".

I remember this sad incident -
An, older, experienced pilot, whose medical had lapsed.
He was cleard to a de-commissioned approach - a mistake recognized in the
accident report, but not the cause of the accident, which was a sadder, more
typical loss of situational awareness. The pilot simply didn't know where he
was (several miles away form the cleared approach, de-commiossioned or not)
when he hit the TV antenna - end of sad story. . .
