shouldn't there at least be a Fail-Safe mode that looks cool

That needs a working kernel. Maybe Linux can be made to fallback to a cool frambuffer image if things aren't too broken, but with windows good luck.

Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.

Storage is the weakest point.
But if you use redundant PXE, hmm 🤔

It should work in the same circumstances as the new Tux logo of doom works.

Not really luck needed, Microsoft just needs to add it. The Windows 11 BSOD is much less ugly and more user friendly. I think this is the one that systemd-bsod intends to approximate eventually.
