How reliable is the `lol` TLD? What if the DNS records go down, or any of the application services provided by omg.lol go down?

Considering that .lol is a gTLD, it's going to be owned by one of the big registries. It's very unlikely that something will happen to it

Unlike what extention? Dot kiwi?

Owned by Uniregistry who is in turn owned by GoDaddy. Like all gTLD registrars, they have to meet all of the ICANN accreditation requirements.
