Does that mean, I'm screwed? What options do I have?
Live with it?
Migrate to, say Centos?
Try to upgrade the server to Ubuntu 18.04 (with uncertainty whether it will work)?
Something else?
Stock 18.04 has other issues, there's an updated version on
ppa:freeipa/staging which is backported from 18.10 and should be fine
and hopefully provided as a stable update on 18.04 later on.
But you could try pulling libnsspem from 18.04, and *then* roll back time?
