Azure API Management Poor Man's Multi Region using Basic/Standard plans

We have an application built of multiple Logic Apps. We will use Azure API Management to consolidate all those endpoints into a single endpoint.



We need this application to be highly available, so we want to deploy it to 2 regions (eg West Europe and North Europe).



As of Nov 2018, the only API Management plan that supports multi-region is the Premium plan that costs 18x the Basic plan. The Premium plan is way out of our budget.



We had the idea to setup two Basic API Management units, one for each region, having both configurations synchronized, and placing a Traffic Manager in front of both.



Assuming that we will only use the gateway functionality of API Management (not developer/publisher portal, authentication etc), what will we be missing with our "Poor Man's Multi Region" solution instead of going with the "native" multi-region of the Premium plan?
