I'm pretty sure nothing serious runs in mainframes outside of US and maybe EU. They have all that infrastructure like banks and planes and it looks quite modern and resilient.

Unless understand your comment wrong: most older EU banks run their core on mainframe. Sure the webapp to see your account is running on some websphere/j2ee or nowadays maybe even angular server. But that's just a gateway to the real accounting system on the mainframe.

  What about banks outside US/EU?

    Brazilian banks and parts of the government were pretty big mainframe clients. I’m most familiar with the IBM ones, but Unisys also had quite a footprint with their A series (which evolved into the Clearpath Libra family).

Japan? NEC, Hitachi, and Fujitsu all used to make mainframes. Hitachi has merged their line with IBM z-Series, but I think it's still for sale? Fujitsu still sells several lines, and NEC still sells in Japan. I suspect their customers are pretty similar though: banks and airlines.
