It getting sued out of existence is not appeasement. It’s literally following the law. That is how non profits that wish to continue to operate do things.

What alternatives to legal actions / the judiciary do you suggest for copyright reform?

The legislative approach is thwarted by the copyright lobby. The executive has neither will, interest, nor power.

The mission of the Internet Archive should not be "copyright reform" but maintaining the continued availability of data it is legally allowed to host.

Then which organization is better positioned and able to push for copyright reform in your opinion?

That would entirely mean what you mean by "copyright reform". If you mean the typical crypto anarchist data hoarder everything should be free and open after 5 minutes sense, or anything close to it, frankly I don't support, so my answer is to route such ideas to /dev/null.
