I didn't use a flight sim in 20 years or so.

But do they have a library of safety incidents, which you can then replay?

I'm also curious about this. I love challenging situations in flight sims and it would be fun to replay real scenarios, or even have a tool where you could just set it to randomly pick one or a couple problems off a list and cause them to manifest at some point in the flight.

I haven't done much simming recently sadly, WarThunder VR support has been broken for over a year and sadly my CPU isn't strong enough for X-Plane 11, but I'll probably be picking up one of the new AMD chips this fall so I'm excited to get back into it.

X-Plane 11 has the ability to randomly fail equipment with parameters that you give it. It can also save a scenario so all the components already exist for something like this.
If they don't I'm sure you can add them, X-plane is fairly open I've heard.

I have MSFS 2020, I know of at least one user created 'mission' that puts lets you try and land on the Hudson like Capt Sully

Are you Captain Sully? :)
The answer is no, they don't
