This is why projects like yocto and buildroot exist.

They help you maintain a stable software stack over time. And generate a fully contained software image that can be flashed without needing the internet afterwards. (All downloads happen during compilation)

Thank you for filling in a gap in my understanding!

I'm pretty severely on the noob end of the scale when it comes to software, so I don't know if maintaining a new distro for myself would make sense, since all the tutorials I'm following assume I have Raspbian and all its built-ins available to me.

But maybe in the post-apocalypse, some hero with a prebuilt Rasp-yocto will rescue all our useless boards.
