I mean, if everybody had a Tier 7 citadel then it wouldn't be much of an accomplishment. My clan has never failed to meet resource upkeep either however we dilapidated twice shortly after citadels came out because of the visitor requirement. That as since been removed so we no longer have any problems. My trick was to keep us at tier 5 until I was sure we could meet the requirements for tier 6 upkeep.
Another thing you have to look at is that it actually takes two weeks to completely downgrade your citadel/plots if you fail to make upkeep. The first week things just become dilapidated. If you make upkeep while your citadel is dilapidated then the next week things will go back to normal.
Lastly, I'm not sure about this so don't quote me but I think if you make sure the citadel itself meets upkeep then some of your plots can dilapidate without losing the avatars.
