Big fan of NearlyFreeSpeech.net and use them for any TLD they support, unfortunately not including some of the newer more esoteric ones like ".cool", but I'm sure that's probably in the works. I moved over from GoDaddy after GoDaddy pulled down seclists.org for Myspace with no due process: https://mashable.com/2007/01/25/myspace-godaddy/

How do registrars “take down” domains? Is it a simple nameserver change that would then propagate over the next few hours?

Yes, in the same way a registrar would redirect a domain to an “expired” page during the non-renewal grace period.
