When this first came out I retrieved the list of stations (around 20k, I think it was just a JSON file), converted it to .m3u8, and I have since used it as a playlist for WinAmp. It's playing one of those streams right now, using 4MB of memory and practically no CPU.

Over the years, several streams (or the station themselves unfortunately) have gone offline. To refresh my list I'd have to scrape the "globe", and it doesn't feel like the right thing to do.

Has anyone encountered a similar website, but with a simple list of public streams?

You should be able to do this with radio-browser.info [1]. Specifically, look at the documentation that lists all stations.

Direct link to a JSON file with ~50k Internet radio stations.
