It's not fud.
First of all, you need to process blocks or the counterparty in an LN channel can eventually defraud you.
Second, even if they're honest, LN channels will eventually fail due to timeouts if your LN node can't process blocks.
There's a time window when LND can still function. But it can't go on indefinitely without a patch.

100%, and nicely explained.
It's definitely a critical issue, but it's not really "down" when plebs can still make payments, at least in the short term.
I believe the fix is already released.
