You might want to add: [I wonder] when it will be discontinued with just a one month's notice and will turn my device into a brick.

This is the bigger risk. I don't see Fuchsia as a walled garden OS as it's pretty well designed to avoid that. Userspace everything with a microkernel makes for a nice small security footprint for IoT devices that can be perpetually updated.

The issue is how long google keeps up "perpetual".
