If I'm using CC suite for InDesign/Lightroom/PS/Premiere Pro/Acrobat is there a cheap/free combination of options that actually replaces the functionality of those programs? Alternatively, are there any maritime options that will work and not come with Israeli malware? I don't know enough about it anymore to confidently pick something that wouldn't end up being more trouble to keep working than it's worth.

Depends on the functionality you expect from each, and if you work alone or integrated into a company relying on Adobe products. But yes, in general, you could replace every single Adobe product with an alternative, either libre or proprietary.
