Ah, I misunderstood.
The gist of it, if I understood it correctly, is some upcoming changes to the kernel (and Wayland) will allow for crashed GPU's to not halt the system, but make it switch to software rendering for proper debugging, as well as kernel changes, so that the culprit of the crash can be diagnosed in userspace.
Others may correct me if I misunderstood something in the video, but that was my takeaway.
If you don't have any money, maybe you can also help if you have a bit of extra space on your HDD - by mirroring some things (especially in the torrent form and seeding), it will at least be one more redundancy of some things in the worst case.
EDIT: Turns out, there is a [or at least one] tool for it:
