If those other fired people did anything substantial it’s an illusion to think you can take that work on. Otherwise the firing was justified as one person can apparently do the work…
You can absolutely take that work on. Are you going to get it all done? Probably not, but like I said, pick and choose.

Yes, for example, if the team was building new features, being 1 not 4 could just means it takes longer. As an example (hmm doesn't strictly mean s/he is doing 4 people's work though)
If you do what you can get done, and go home at a reasonable time, it's great. You don't have to worry about justifying your position, or trying to find work to do, you've got a bunch of stuff. You can pick from your choice of tasks, cause there's a ton of stuff. You don't have to bother with knowledge transfer, cause everyone else was fired. You can nope out of meetings because you've got a lot of stuff to do. When you leave or get fired, whatever, not your problem.
No need to collaborate with other contributors becauase there are none. Not great if you're junior, obviously.
