Does Judaism have nuns or monks? I know it's taboo to not be married in Judaism but is there space for people who don't for whatever reason: mental illness, etc?

I wouldn't phrase it that it's taboo not to be married in Judaism, but rather that asceticism, sexual abstinence, and the general concept of withdrawing from the world are not Jewish values and building a family is. The entire underlying concept of institutions like nuns and monks is that it's holy to remove oneself from the world at large, holy never to have sexual relations, holy to deprive oneself of worldly pleasures. And that's not Judaism. We were put in this world to elevate physicality to a spiritual level, and you can't do that without interacting with physicality. Having a sumptuous meal is holy when it's for the purposes of a mitzvah (indeed, in a number of cases one MUST have a meal in order to do a mitzvah and it SHOULD be particularly delicious food). Having sex within the appropriate context is incredibly holy. And much of what exists in the physical world is inherently neutral, but can be elevated to holiness when used for a mitzvah.

An unmarried Jew (whether by choice or because they haven't found a partner despite wanting one) doesn't need to sequester themselves from the world and live simply to live a holy life; they'd actually be depriving themselves of many opportunities for holiness by doing so. Being married and building a family are significant values in Judaism, and it can sometimes be hard for unmarried adults because communities tend to be so family-focused, but that's still just one of many parts of living a Jewish life. In the world - not out of it.
