Where can I get a Pi these days. I have a work project (low volume need about 5 Pi) where I replaced a Matrix Orbital LED display and custom membrane keypad with a Pi and touchscreen. I used my own personal Pi model B but I need a few for the company and they are out of stock everywhere. (displays are not a problem, just the Pi itself)

I need a couple for a project, and yeah... good luck.

RPI400 is available pretty much everywhere, but rpi3, 4 or zeroW like they never existed.

For anyone thinking "I'll just get a 400 and open it up and pull the Pi", the 400 motherboard isn't remotely the same form factor as the usual RPi's.

I actually bought an PRi 4 8GB 2 weeks ago at my local MicroCenter, so they're definitely making (and selling) them.

I decided to check on my phone on a whim. They showed 8 in stock. By the time I got there, 30 minutes later, they had 3 left.

That PiLocator site does show the last time they've been in stock, and from my non-scientific assessment, it looks like availability is slightly getting better.

It's difficult. You can try your luck with https://rpilocator.com/

FWIW I found better luck looking for "Starter kits" that are the board + power supply + case etc. There were a couple of sites that rpilocator checked that didn't have stock listed, but did have 8gb 4bs as part of a "Starter kit" for ~£15 more.

I assume it's some agreement not to list all the variants to try to allow hobbyists to still get some.

I bought Pi Zero 2 on aliexpress few weeks ago. Can't say whether it's genuine as it's not arrived yet. But I did not find it anywhere else.

Depends on where you live, but here in Canada, PiShop (https://pishop.ca) usually has 4B kits in stock. I haven't seen single boards being available for a long time though.

Any kits with the 7" touch screen? I need some of those anyway.

Many typical Raspberry pi IOT projects can be done with ESP32/ESP8266 based boards which are highly available and very cheap.
