Well there are many gateways which provides redundancy but if ipfs really takes off I think it'll eventually need to be supported by browsers so that you're using your own ipfs node for lookups but it's seamless for you the user or developer.

Agreed - having a lot of gateways helps (https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/), but eventually integration directly with browsers is the upgrade path: https://blog.ipfs.io/2019-10-08-ipfs-browsers-update/
