Trouble upgrading from centos 7 to almalinux, where to get affordable help upgrading/migrating? (alien.top)

I tried to use the elevation upgrade script from almalinux, however it fails. it ends with the screenshot i attached, emergency mode. and I was then required to roll back a snapshot. My current host was so kind to take a look as well, also try to upgrade it themselfs, but they couldn't achieve it either on a quick try (i saw them through vnc also doing a drive repair)

I want to upgrade to almalinux 9 (through 8 then as required), so where does one get affordable and truthworthy help for these things, for the not-so-techy people like myself?

Where does one get help? IT consultants. Where does one get affordable help? Dunno, I don't use IT consultants.

Is there a particular reason you need to upgrade rather than back up your files, do a clean install of Alma, and then rsync your files back to the new host?

That's what I'd do. I also run a lot of docker containers, so I am not worried about nuking a system — I can rebuild in minutes on a new VM.
