It is probably no consolation for you, but now your former co founders have "their" own company that's four years old, still has no customers or an MVP, and apparently no one really working full time on the company...

Seems like they get what they deserve...

Well, there's one product, one MVP, and a team of 8 full-timers... My biggest concern was the people, trying to find a situation that somewhat guarantees their short-term future and they can then go from there..

If the full time people don't identify a founder leaving as an existential threat and look for their way out that's on them.

Also it is a job. People can get fired (impacted I mean) at any company. They weight it all up like any other job. Company is family never really existed.

You can keep people off balance enough that they don't have time to think about finding another job. That's what a 60+ hour work week is for, after all.

You work and sleep.
