That's not enough when you can see that we have an active forum community, and talkpages with 100+ messages being left every week. It isn't a sysop's responsibility to monitor every edit. That there are more discussions does not automatically call for more sysop activity.

He lifted a block that was impacting Elvenora last week. Other than not responding to your emails, what reason do you have to believe he's unavailable?

But then that fourth might have a wandering eye and cheat on us with some other wiki. The fourth should be forced to marry a fifth bureaucrat to keep them satisfied where it counts.
 * 1) If we have no active bureaucrats, it means nobody can be promoted to sysop.
 * 2) What would happen if every sysop stopped coming here?
 * 3) Who would be responsible for blocking users, protecting articles and deleting images if there's no sysops?

You can't account for every future occurrence. Worry about problems when they come up, not weeks/months/years in advance.
