In current server TC/AC architecture could an aura outlast it's owner? Like a creature applying a permanent DoT that steals health from the target and brings it to the unit, if it despawns is the creature object going to be deleted or is it going to wait for the aura to expire? And what if said creature is an Army of the Dead ghoul?

Yes, auras can exist without the owner on most aura types

Isn't that problematic for checking get owner? I guess I should just get rid of all auras on unit removal for the sake of getting rid of headaches.

Its like this because of being able to logout and have auras still exist

it's problematic if you assume the owner exists. You can check `AuraEffects.cpp` for how it's commonly handled, lifesteals or pairing spells always check before accessing them

I'm relying a lot on custom scripts and I don't want to deref nullptr.

As long as your script checks if the caster exists before trying to access it you should be fine
