I think it's incredibly naïve to think that it's over now. The legal ramifications of what Automattic has done have not even started to set in motion.

Also, as a longtime WP user, my understanding of the product is... pretty different now to say the least.

The whole drama is not done, but the colleagues and friends leaving all at once is done, and that was stressful, you don't know who's leaving next until you see their name.

To OP's point, I don't think the provided buyout window was long enough to determine that. If a bunch of other shoes drop, like more stuff comes out of discovery with the WP Engine lawsuit, knowing that you only had 4 days to accept or GTFO might still leave a bunch of on the fence employees.
