Doesn't the A10 have something ridiculous like ten of everything?
No, it doesn't have any more redundancy than anything else. What it has is a high excess of aerodynamic control, so it remains easily flyable with large area of control surface loss, plus a layout which makes it much less likely that both sides will be destroyed by a single weapon strike. There are a few other features of the fuel system and landing gear to make it more recoverable than a typical aircraft too.
