Backup History Query Assistance
DBA Dash backup collection query for reference. Have you tried running the query in SSMS and timed the execution?

Monitoring the health of hundreds of instances, what would/do you use?
It's still important to have alerts and DBA Dash doesn't have anything built in to do this. It is possible to create alerts based on the data collected in the repository database. There are some sample alerts here that might be worth a look. Hope this helps!

Would it be bad practice to hold general database/server information from dozens of servers in a central database?
You can almost get everything through SQL with sys.dm_os_volume_stats:https://github.com/trimble-oss/dba-dash/blob/main/DBADash/SQL/SQLDrives.sqlThis won't include volumes that don't have any SQL files on them. e.g. o/s volume, backup volume etc.

Is there a way to watch what's happening in SQL server in real time?
I would definitely still recommend sp_whoisactive though - it's a great tool. Also, monitoring tools act like a flight recorder providing valuable information that you can use to diagnose performance issues after the event. I created DBA Dash an open-source monitoring tool that you might want to take a look at if you are interested in using a monitoring tool. Also, enabling query store at the DB level provides useful data to troubleshoot and fix performance issues.

Setting up monitoring for SQL Server
I created a monitoring tool called DBA Dash that's open source if you are interested in a free monitoring tool. https://github.com/trimble-oss/dba-dash When adding a connection to monitor click the checkbox for slow query capture and it will capture all queries that take longer than 1 second to run. This is similar to your profiler trace. It also captures a lot of other data that is useful to troubleshoot performance issues. As mentioned query store is great - enable this and use in combination with dba dash. (Or other monitoring tool)
- Database corruption is insidious. Check the integrity of your databases regularly!

slow database server troubleshooting checklist
sp_BlitzFirst, sp_whoisactive. Look at query store if you have this enabled. If its a bad plan query store can help you identify and fix it. Look at cpu, io performance metrics etc. If you can't create procs for some reason you could add ## to the name to make them global temp stored procs. The procs will live as long as the session is left open that created them. Consider a utility database where you can add diagnostic stored procs. Ideally consider a monitoring tool.
