That's been my experience as well. In addition, the ecosystem largely holds to semver, which means a non-major upgrade tends to be painless, and conversely, if there's a major upgrade, you know not to put it off for too long because it'll involve some degree of migration.
It's a similar experience in Go, specially because imports are done by URL and major versions higher than v1.x are forced to change it to add a suffix `/vN` at the end.
Although this is true, any large ecosystem will have some popular packages not holding to semver properly. Also, the biggest downside is when your `>=v1` depends - indirectly usually - on a `v0` dependency which is allowed to do breaking changes.
This is a great resource for learning WASM. I bought a copy and I'm enjoying following along all the code.

Are there companies that actually use their statuspage as a source of truth for uptime numbers?
I think it's way more common for companies to have a public status page, and then internal tooling that tracks the "real" uptime number. (E.g. Datadog monitors, New Relic monitoring, etc)
(Your point still stands though.)
[Datadog employee here] https://updog.ai tracks the uptime of multiple services by real impact across Datadog customers.
Weird that https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ isn't reporting this properly. It should be full of red blinking lights.
