I’m unaware of 1password ever getting hacked.

I think your paranoia here is unjustified

You are right in a way. I always assume company sysadmins have access to company data, even if they say the opposite, and I always assume there are undisclosed data leaks. Which may seem a little paranoid.

It's like closing your car's door when leaving it alone: Is it paranoid to assume that always there are someone willing to steal stuff?

1password employees don’t have access to the data let alone anyone else.

That's a common good practice.

It's still good idea to assume the opposite.

If you can see plain text passwords, some malicious actor at their side can too. No matter if it's encrypted at rest.

No, I don't think it's healthy to move through life in such a paranoid state. If I thought that, I wouldn't use a password manager and that would leave several problems unsolved, chiefly I would only be able to remember a couple passwords, opening my identity up for hacking several orders of magnitude likelier to actually happen than 1password's entire technology stack failing at its one job.
