Yes, I can still see them in icloud.com (although I can't see the due dates and times, just the reminders). Is there any way to download from icloud to my MacBook Reminders App?

Even if I were able to download them, I assume they wouldn't sync with my phone because of the issue with phone having updated software and MacBook not being updated.

Should I update my MacBook software now, or wait a few days for the bugs to get worked out?

No. You can't go back.

You'll have to upgrade your Mac to Catalina to sync reminders with it again.

So long as you don't rely on any 32 bit software, it really shouldn't be an issue. It's been pretty solid for me.

I think I do use some 32-bit software so I'm not too eager to upgrade to Catalina. Also I'm pretty happy with the current operating system.

I may try to find a new Reminder program that I can use on my iPhone and MacBook, and just quit using Apple Reminders.

Thanks for the advice, KiltedTim and BDAqua! I appreciate it.

You were warned before updating the reminders on your phone that if you did so, your Mac would not be able to access your reminders until and unless you upgraded it to macOS Catalina.
