If the new MongoDB licence is non-free, the chances that Debian will include that software in their repos are nil.

We're at 3.4 right now, but there's concern that shipping any non-SSPL-licensed version is unsustainable for the lifetime of a Debian release.

They will probably keep the last version before the license change for a while, and probably add minor community-sourced patches.
The next version of ubuntu will include mongdb version "3.6.9+really3.6.8+90~g8e540c0b6d" which you can see means "last commit before the license change"

I can foresee the day when that version of MongoDB is advertised/discussed as having "AWS Document DB compatibility" (rather than today's converse).

I think Debian would keep it around, probably, but it'll be punted out of the main repos and in to the ones designated for non-free software. Impact on the end user will likely be minimal. They'll still be able to apt-get install it as before.
