It seems like a reasonable worry. Google Play Music was shut down, as have been so many Google services over time.

The problem with that reasoning is, it's not like Google is rolling a percentile die. They shut down projects that don't pay stockholder dividends, no matter how popular or widely used those projects are. So...

Judging from this other, possibly incomplete list, most of them.

"shut down" seems a little strong since it was replaced with Youtube Music. For most users it was a UI change but otherwise they didn't even notice. This is very different from other products that were actually shut down where they just turned them off.

I had purchased music from them, none of which is now available to me, apart from what I downloaded.
