This got me looking to see if there is any way to have a fallback as I have had something similar happen to me.

The general advice is to have a liveboot USB around. I even saw that you can have GRUB simply boot from an .iso file on the internal drives, which eliminates the need to keep a USB stick around.

I haven't followed the steps yet but I'll give this a shot because it intrigues me.

Or you could just install NixOS for update rollbacks (or use zfs/btrfs and set an alias to take snapshots whenever you update)

I always have a separate huge kernel on hand that boots without an initrd.
