Problem is, where do you take a company like this if you want peace of mind that the new host country won't immediately try to pass a similar law?

Despite the hype, crypto is traceable. It is harder than other currencies and one transaction is probably untraceable. However if you are running a business you are going to get repeated payments from customers and repeatedly pay your employees and suppliers, which in turn creates enough data that they can track you down.
