There’s some good discussion in the thread about alternatives. Someone said GhostArchive looks to be run by the same operator of Archive.today. Another poster recommended Wallhop which I hadn’t heard of before. I can’t vouch for it or corroborate the other claim, but I’m glad these discussions are happening.
Another comment recommended Bypass Paywalls Clean which I can vouch for and highly recommend, but my recommendation always has to come with a ton of disclaimers because the only way to get it is via a sketchy Russian GitHub clone (due to DMCA takedowns back when it was distributed on reputable western sites IIRC).

Another relevant link from a previous incident in 2019, where archive.is blocked all users of Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver: Does Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS Block Archive.is? No, Archive.is’s owner is intentionally blocking 1.1.1.1 users.
