Hello,
Can someone shed a light on how would behave/respond the 3phase ESS system in case if one of the grid phases fails.
Thanks in advance,

System will switch to inverting on all phases.
If you want your system to react to missing grid on phase by phase basis, You can set each phase as a separate 1-phase system. You will not be able to use a 3-phase equipment but all your 1-phase equipment would work.
I was honestly a bit confused by info from a recent Victron's blog https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/2021/12/17/electric-vehicle-charging-that-comes-to-you/ . If you look at the GX Touch Screen there, one phase is available as a power source and all three Quattros are running, additionally with a Power-Assist mode switched on. Thanks again.
It is possible to set up 3 Inverter/chargers to create system with 1-phase input and 3-phase output.
It doesn't matter if you use ESS or not.
If you setup 3 MultiPlus (or Quattro) to run together as 3-phase system, they always switch to inverter mode if one of the phases fails.
Thanks, Matthias, I can explain why I was confused a bit. If you open a recent Victron's blog page https://www.victronenergy.com/blog/2021/12/17/electric-vehicle-charging-that-comes-to-you/ on the GX Touch Screen you can see the only one phase available as power source and three phases are operating, on top of that it is in Power-Assist mode. That's definitely not an ESS setup, although operating as a 3phase system.
Thanks again,
Vyacheslav
In such system you should also be able to use a different input on each MultiPlus but if I'm correct it will only use one input at a time. You can't connect a 3-phase grid to the input and use all three phases together. But I'm not 100% sure about that.
