What I need is to be able to blacklist alarms on a calendar. If I have that day marked as a holiday, I don't want my alarms going off. If I turn them off for the three day weekend, I inevitably forget to turn them back on for Tuesday. I have a calendar that has all these days marked, but no way to do this in a convenient manner. Can your stuff do this?

I have done exactly this through Shortcuts. Basically, if I want to skip the alarm for a specific date, I just create an all-day event on Calendar and the automation takes in every midnights to check for these events and disabled the alarm. And also, do the reverse on the opposite.
If you have holidays in a specific calendar you can exclude that calendar from the showing up in the agenda at all through the setting tab > select calendars.
