I worry this about a lot of things. But what alternatives are there when crts are gone or all broken?

I've never had a flat-screen with as good color or 0 latency like a crt. And im sure they exist theyre probably just 2000 dollars.

Theres also converters that will add scan lines in, making hdmi look like old crt television.

Scan lines alone are not enough, but good shaders can come close:
