How risky is it to travel to Canada for 2 weeks at the end of September while I’m on an H-1B visa?

Have not seen my family since 2019 due to COVID. I am planning a trip end of September/early October for 2 weeks. I am fully vaccinated. My worst case scenario fear would be a travel ban being slapped onto Canada due to a spike in cases or a new variant, and if I wouldn’t be able to fly back to the US. I think it would be pretty unlikely given Canada’s high vaccination rates and precautions, thr US’s connection with Canada, and given they have never placed a travel ban on Canada for flying, even through initial year of COVID.

Another question- these travel bans usually aren’t immediate. They usually take effect the next day from what I’ve seen. If I paid attention to the news and noticed such a travel ban, couldn’t I just drive across the border and fly back to my city before the ban took effect? I know there’s a tourism ban at land crossings but I think I could still get across with an H1B. Thanks!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
