As someone using Gmail for Work: This is one of the things I absolutely detest about Gmail for Work. The Groups interface is absolutely horrendous, and we don't want groups, we want simple email distribution lists.

Do you know if people can manage their subscriptions themselves? I seem to be able to add "Admins" to a group, but I don't know what that does.

That's interesting, but it doesn't reassure me much. The infrastructure behind Groups may be in use, it doesn't stop Google from shutting the UI down.

To be clear: it's not just the infrastructure; the set up a Google Apps mailing list you use the Google Groups UI.

Well, they already shut down the free tier of Google Apps, which was also used by some OSS projects.
So it’s possible.
At this point, unlike Reader, there's real cash behind the functionality. It's possible they could just fold it into Gmail, I guess, but with other mail interfaces like Inbox popping up in the Google ecosystem it seems if anything they're trying not to shoehorn too much more into a flagship product.
My guess is Groups will stick around for a while yet.
