You will usually see a dampening of rankings when moving domains. Redirects do not transfer 100% of authority.

I wouldn't risk my business only because a google employee tweeted "30x redirects don't lose PageRank anymore.". Because there is a lot room for different interpretations and open questions.

I would have said this too some years ago, a competitor moved his domain last year with practically no impact. Moving domains today seems much much safer than some years ago.

PS: Same goes for http to https, some years ago you've got a huge huge drop in rankings while today it's a no brainer.

It shouldn't disappear entirely though. A completely new site shows up faster than this was unavailable.
