Switching to Blink would be a huge undertaking, ditto for moving off classic Gecko.

Mozilla ditched Firefox OS & Thunderbird over the huge amount of work that would need to be redone to move to newer Gecko (as Servo components were ported over and swapped in via Project Quantum), but that would likely be less work than getting Blink to be responsive with minuscule amounts of RAM, then go app by app and optimize the crap out of it (which Mozilla had dozens to hundreds of devs doing for Firefox OS while they were developing it).
