Dear All, I have resolved the issue by re-installing all libraries and drivers. The reason the drivers were causing me iussues was because my runtime version was updated, and I had no idea. This is probably ehat caused all the issues in the first place.

I assume that, as databricks implemented a "Workaround mitigation" to bring service back to 100% folloeing bad weather destroying fiber cables between datacenters... whatever their solution was seems to have changed my runtime version, causing all my drivers and many libs to have compatibility issues. They should warn us about this possibility in future outages as our service went down longer than was necessary. I hope this helps someone else if they experince the same thing.
