So what is suggested for developers running into this situation? Not all of us live in dense, major cities where it's easier to find a cross-section of all stacks, but most of us with experience can ramp up into a new stack based on similar paradigms we already use regularly.

That cuts both ways, if your an employer out in the sticks then you won't be able to be so picky about skills.

Find better employers.

The game these employers have set up is unwinnable. Don't play it.
