Is it a bad sign if a recruiter ghosts after messing up the schedule? They booked me for a day I wasn't available, and now it’s been two days of silence since I asked for a fix. Requesting last-minute leave at my current job is a nightmare. Should I just bow out now?

Give it one more follow up. Recruiters are juggling a lot and sometimes things slip through the cracks. If they don't respond after that, then yeah, move on.

Try to make them accommodate you after the mess up if you are already considering bowing out anyway. Anything is worth a try. Does anyone feel like recruiters are messing up more lately? Can understand they have a lot to juggle, but calendars do exist.

It just seems to a lot of the market noise lately

Annoying, yes. A single polite follow up is reasonable. If there is still silence, I would take it as a signal about their organisation and keep moving rather than withdrawing emotionally.
