Would be good to crawl the site and push it into archive

What are the chances of keeping a static backup?
I think I'd actually be in compliance with the law if no-one could comment.
So one option is to break the authentication, expire all current authentication... and then the whole site is read-only.
But this costs £400 per month at the lower end to operate... so I could only do that for a short while.
Also note: a static dump... of what exactly? You're also lifting authentication controls from a lot of content that was never intended to be public. We would need to also exclude a hell of a lot.

What are the chances of keeping a static backup? Even if it is cryosleep of some kind; lest an alternative platform comes together in the longer term. I can move to other platforms, it's the historical record that I am personally saddest to lose.
