I am 100% sure that if I went and "the code is the contract"ed whatever ends up being DAO2.0 out of 5% of all existing ETH, that Vitalik would come save it "just this once" one more time... I absolutely do not believe for one second that there wouldn't be another fork. And I say this as someone with a substantial interest in the currency.

Well, the point is, Vitalik can't do that. The community would have to agree with him.

If the situation were sufficiently dire, then presumably it would be easy to get community support. But the opposite is true too.

Nope, won't happen again. Look at EIP-999. It's backed by Vitalik but is still dead.

EIP-999 isn't backed by Vitalik but it was backed by major figures in Ethereum, including at least one co-founder. And yes it's dead.
