Given it can run on other engines as well as self-hosted or local models, I don't think "calling someone elses API" is a major issue in relation to the reddit situation. If anything I'd argue this being both open choice and open source negates the concern of losing access to the software. As for continued development, it's about the same as any self-funded project: It's free, so don't expect the world, and if you end up relying on it as a company, it might make sense to forward some effort back to the project to keep it stable.
