"If the site that breaks is something with no alternative like a government website, meaning the only somewhere else you can go is away and not get anything like benefits and so on?"
In my area, there is literally no website that is actually indispensable. Any government agency that is entirely web-oriented still lets you go the their office to conduct your business, even if in the end it's still using the website.
I literally cannot think of a single essential thing that I'd have to do without if I could not use the web at all, and I see no reason to believe that will change in my lifetime.
