OK I've managed to revive the WebGUI with the suggested fix I posted earlier in the year for others getting this issue.

Essentially I recreated the symlink
ln -s /var/local/emhttp /usr/local/emhttp/stateThen tried to reload the Web GUI (Didn't bother trying to restart the web GUI service)

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

Someone on the previous page a few months back said that fix didn't work for them so I hadn't tried yet. Glad I did.

Full details here of before/after.

Hope the fix works for others encountering it. Glad I don't have to reboot every time this pops up.
