Also, probably another dumb question, but if Emulationstation itself is corrupted, will creating my own SD card and using that even work?

As long as your sd card isn't the cause of the original corruption then it should be fine. If your card is dying then a problem will likely develop at some point after you reimage it.

Solved

just hoping that I’m missing something and I can still use the Easyget encoders on my next build

Check the other topic and see if the diagnostic commands (dmesg) show the same behavior from the encoders - i.e. spurious/frequence connect/disconnect events. Try the advice to add the usbhid.quirks and see if it solves the disconnects. If not, then I don't know how this can be solved.
