You may be putting too much weight on the nips repo. If it was shut down today nostr would be fine, another repo fork would replace it.
One entity has complete control over that repo, but that doesn’t define nostr, it has at most a big influence, which can be lost if it no longer reflects what is implemented in clients and relays.
Nostr is defined by NIP-01, it has changed before, it will change again. That's guaranteed.

It is no longer defined by NIP-01, it is described by NIP-01, changing NIP-01 does not automatically change the code in clients and relays.
Let me try to change NIP-01 and you watch the Nostur codebase in your computer to see if it reacts.
This would save me so much time!
