The f2b wait times seem crazy and if I can't naturalize while in the US I'll probably just go somewhere else/marry out anyways. Is it even worth it at this point?

Have her file anyways, at worst you lose the filing fee ($535 right now) if you decide to do something else like sponsorship by work or marry a USC.

Does USCIS have to be notified to kill the petition and then the spouse has to file a new petition and start from scratch?

He/she cannot marry until at very least the petitioner naturalizes. There is no process, the petition is automatically dead. You can and should let USCIS know that the petition is voided, if you try to be clever NVC will catch on, or worse the consulate abroad will find out and now you're stranded.
That being said, if you can marry a USC it might be worth it to just kill the petition and proceed that way.
