re: Welp. Deadlifts got my back. Now what?

Well you just contradicted yourself in one sentence:
Deadlifts have been around forever exactly because it is a very useful exercise, arguably the most useful. Just because crossfitters do them doesn't mean you have to shite on them.
I vehemently disagree. More middle aged people have back pain precisely because they don't develop posterior chain strength and stability. The deadlift (or some form of it) is the best exercise to develop that strength. Why is back pain probably the #1 orthopedic issue for most of the population? It's not because of crossfitters and weightlifters. It's desk sitters and fatasses.
If you're saying it's not necessary to max out and lift the heaviest weight possible, then I would agree. But to overall dismiss deadlifts altogether as too risky is just short-sighted.

it's just a recent fad that became popular with xfit.

20 years ago you did not see girls and 40 year old men doing DL's in public gyms. You can see it everyday now. Why? It got popular with xfit.
Sprint intervals are the best thing for fat burning, leg building and cardio. Would you recommend a person who can't run an 10 min mile to run some 200's for cardio?
No S$$$. Now compare injuries stats of 30 year olds who keep DL vs those who don't. Better yet ask an Ortho what he suggests. I knew the exact responses I would get before I posted. Tough guys and the DL for life crowd. It's a high risk movement and that's a fact especially the older you get because you naturally lose flexibility with age which eventually catches up to your form.
Just because it's a good lift doesn't mean it's for everyone. I run sprint intervals for cardio but if I took Lester Earl and Hu Flung Pu with me today both would vomit and one would end up with some kind of leg injury.
