Added "Small unmanned aircraft system" to my pilot certificate. Took about 2 hours to go through the Part 107 sUAS course. Longer to find a CFI (can't self recommend!) to recommend me.

Somehow, I doubt this counts as a flight review!!

Oh yes....IACRA is still broken, but they have phone tech support 24/7, and I needed it.
 
Think that sUAS thing backed them all up, also seem like it took longer to get me sUAS cert than all my other certs
 
Connected with my CFI and got mine finished up this last week. For me it was work related. We have a "drone" we use for marketing videos and other things that became useless once the new rules went in place as the only pilot there it was easier for me to get it than to have someone start from scratch and the department that actualy operates it reports to me.

My issue is, and it is a bit selfish, there is zero upside for me and a lot of potential downside if there is a problem.

You need to be there when they are flying it for commercial operations. So that's more "salary" time. And if something is screwed up, all of your certificates are at risk.

Exactly the point I made to my boss. Don't plan on doing a lot of "flying" if I can help it.
