I understand that time as a whole is uncountable so use of 'Much' or 'Less' would be correct but is it correct to say "I have less than 30 minutes to live" when minutes is a countable noun? Or should it be "I have fewer than 30 minutes to live"?

Yes, it is correct to say "I have less than 30 minutes to live".
The usual explanation of why this is correct is that "30 minutes" is a block of time, and time is uncountable.
Or just think of this usage as the preferred idiom.
The following are correct too: less than 30 miles, less than 30 kilos, less than 30 litres, less than 30 degrees.

Here's another question that goes over a similar FEWER or LESS situation people may want to also look at.
