Where do I begin? Let’s see…

They are not stranded on a Boeing spacecraft, they are working on the ISS along side 7 other astronauts.

Currently in the event of an emergency they would return on the Boeing spacecraft.

After the Boeing spacecraft undocks they will have a few days where if an emergency where to occur one of them would have to return without a SpaceX space suit. They have one extra contingency SpaceX suit.

Crew 9 will launch with two astronauts and an extra SpaceX suit.

8 day missions are no longer the norm, most missions now are 6-12 months long
