I was rudely woken by 2 loud back to back emergency broadcast from my phone at 3am without any prior warning or way to opt-out.

Good, the emergency system works.
You can turn these off on iOS. All four types.
Abusing emergency alerts so people want to turn them off is a bad idea. If there's a wildfire or tornado that requires people to immediately evacuate/shelter at 3 AM, people very well might die if they don't receive these alerts.
I'm sorry to hear that.
My condolences
