Arch only breaks if you don’t read the wiki.
Update the repo’s gpg keys, read the Arch news, do what manual steps they mention and you can update it after a year and it won’t break.

It somehow deleted the old kernel image from the boot partition but failed to write the new one (and I didn’t notice before rebooting).

I needed to rebuild the kernel via chroot from a live USB.
