I have my doubts that MDN will be able to keep receiving the same level of updates with these layoffs. I'd hope they would, but that doesn't seem logical unless either contributions increase from outisde somehow (e.g. Google and Microsoft decides to add more writers for MDN), or GPT-3 starts generating those docs.
Now if MDN starts becoming outdated, someone else will fill that void. W3Schools maybe (nobody wants this), but it seems like a better opportunity for Google to swoop in and lead, to further solidify their domination in the browser space. Cynical sounding to you I'm sure, but that seems logical to me from a homo economicus business stance. I'd be happy to hear I'm missing something or wrong in some way so this doesn't happen, since after all, competition is great.
