This is IMO a risk for many individual owned fediverse instance. Someone has a domain, at a point other admin take over, and the domain owner doesn't renew no matter whether they forget because real life happens or due to some Drama.

Very few instances have a clear legal organizational (like a non profit club) running, which is more flexible when founders step out

Yeah this does prove a failing point for the fediverse that is an important part of larger adoption. This still mostly exists in large part by communal effort even if the community doesn't appreciate it or recognize it
