You are quite correct regarding the 500 errors - what exactly do you do for a living? You have a fair knowledge of these things 
But yes, generically, 500 is the server threw an unrecoverable error somewhere along the line. The hosting I deal with currently doesn't use VM's so less of an issue of it falling over
Truth be told, I hadn't looked at the current hosting platform that the forum runs on so you have done your research
As for backups, I'm reserved on that. No way to know for certain as to whether they are running any at all and even then an incremental backup (which is what I would expect) isn't hugely intensive.
