> Even local crypto exchanges are refusing service

As long as one has non-US local friends/family who can cash out, I don't think this matters much (albeit in a local currency)

I think in this day in age, all of this is really depends on ones personal preference in how deeply they want to tie themselves directly to the traditional banking system (and traditional asset classes/financing/jobs/organizations) without even trying to give up US citizenship (because obviously, the process is a PITA).
