But also I thought Linux distros normally keep the old Kernel around after an update so stuff like this doesn’t cause a boot failure?

Arch has no concept of "previous package", so it doesn't do this.

You could install linux-lts (or one of the other alternative kernels) side by side with the linux package, so you always have a bootable fallback, but like most things on Arch it's not enforced.

That's pretty wild, I guess arch is not meant to hold your hand at all so it makes sense.
