I bought my Kamado Joe sometime in 2014 and it has served me well for the past 11 years. Aside from a few cracked fireboxes which were covered by warranty, this thing has been a beast. My grill/grate support finally has cracked (see above). Any suggestions on where I can find a replacement or was interested if the newer support like this: https://www.kamadojoe.com/products/divide-and-conquer-cooking-rack-iii. Are compatible. Would appreciate any help/guidance. Thx

Got a friend that can weld?
If it were me, I would use this as an opportunity to replace it with the divide & conquer system.
However, you linked the Classic III rack, which I don’t believe will fit your grill. I think you need something compatible with a Classic I. If you need the half moon grates and deflector plates, Onlyfire sells an entire kit which seems to get okay reviews:

You could piece together all of these things from Kamado Joe, but it looks like it would be more than $200.
Take it to a muffler shop to weld it.
It’s stainless so should be no biggie
Ceramicgrillstore.com might have better options.
Do you have the multi-part firebox?
Replace, stainless had been heat cycled making it brittle welding won’t work it will snap again just after the weld spot.
