Okay, I’ve got it sorted. I found a post on here with something similar; WordPress wasn’t resetting back into the main loop.

What’s causing an infinite loop?
wp_reset_query is meant to be used with a loop, because it resets the global $wp_query object. get_posts, on the other hand, just returns an array to be iterated with ie. foreach. setup_postdata does not populate the $wp_query object: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/setup_postdata.

You are missing the point of restoring the context to original state. Yes, your loops do work without reset.
