How does a "good" receiver know the correct time? Does it rely on
local (backed-up) storage, or is there some way of receiving it via
the almanac? Or are "good" receivers hardwired as well, only with
a different valid span?
I would not be surprised when "good" receivers turn out to have just
a different moment or mode of failure.

Some receivers have battery backup, in fact all but one of the receiver
types I use have this.
I have an awful feeling that you are right about the potential for
failure - it might take 19 years to find out, though!
