“Aside from all that, what happens if a hacker manages to wreck the let’s encrypt infra so badly they need 2 weeks to get it back online?”

There are other CAs that offer certs via ACME. For example, Google Trust Services.

There are also alternatives to Cloudflare and AWS, that didn't stop their outages from taking down pretty much the entire internet. I'm not sure what your point is, pretty much everybody is using let's encrypt and it will very much be a huge outage event for the web if something were to go seriously wrong with it.
