What problems does ibdata1 have? To recover tables structure you need only InnoDB dictionary which resides in the beginning of ibdata1. So, maybe it's not all bad.

It's possible to guess structure fields and field types from .ibd but you have to be very-very-very familiar with InnoDB page format. Here are few links to start with:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-physical-record.html
https://www.slideshare.net/akuzminsky/undrop-for-innodb-47122998 (slide 8)
Also, are you sure the .ibd files are OK?

It looks like you have to rebuild the server from scratch. Thus, downtime is inevitable.
