The chance of flux going away is much less than Apple suddenly deciding "We don't want to offer this feature anymore."

History suggests this is not correct.
Long-time Mac users have a term for this: Sherlocking[0]
It seems far more likely that a company without an obvious business plan might run out of money trying to sell software that seems to be an unnecessary duplication of features built in to the OS than for Apple to eliminate a feature they've only recently introduced and promoted.
I'm hoping neither happen, and I wish the f.lux team the best, but I definitely think you have the odds the wrong way around.

Flux is on version 4 and has been around for a very long time. Dare I say a decade now? Apple probably barely cares about the feature. You think they're going to iterate on it close to as much as Flux? History certainly does not show that.
