Yeah the one good decision by that former dev was to use Mongo Atlas, so the data layer is completely decoupled from GCP.

That means very little, I hope you realize. Reader, Voice, Chat, etc.[0] were all around a long time.
>Also, there's no inherent lock-in
GAE has plenty of proprietary APIs you can depend on. Whether or not you do is up to the programmer.
0 - A comment below notes that voice and chat aren't deprecated yet. Voice was announced deprecated, and google has had so many chat apps I'm not sure which ones are gone. Anyway, here is a more complete list of things Google has abandoned: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Gae is nearly twice as old as reader was when deprecated. Voice and chat still exist and aren't deprecated.
Also, there's no inherent lock-in, you can basically just deploy it somewhere else.
Data is where the lock-in lies. Moving can be hard if you use proprietary databases. Can still be worth it.
