Patching servers and fixing infrastructure issues gets rewarded with getting blamed for any server or app issue going forward and then fixing said issues on top of your current workload.

Exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself.

Unfortunately, every IT job where I live is more or less like this. Sure, there are some that are not, but are not a whole lot better paid than what I currently make... and because of certain life decusions I've made, I currently can't move or work abroad. In 10+ years from now... maybe... we'll see... I hope so. So, basically, I'm more or less stuck here with this job. I could quit and find something else, but my current budget doesn't allow to go even for a month with no pay... so if I do, it'll have to be a quit today - hire tomorrow kind of a thing, which most companies around here don't do (they wanna squeeze as much free labour out of you as possible, so even if they don't go full pay for a month or two, that's a win in their book), so... again, not really an option currently.
