I'm wondering too. We run dbt on-prem. Worst that could happen is we don't get any more free updates. But we have the software and it will continue to run.
What's the problem specifically? Are you banking on some future features? Can't fix the bugs yourself? Worried it won't be compatible with future data warehouses?
I know people don't like it these days, but you can just continue to run old software.
The cloud component is probably sticky if you have come to rely on those parts.
