I wonder what will happen to old websites I built with ACF and did not touch for years? Are they vulnerable now, as owners cannot get updates for ACF?

The slug hasn't changed so it will receive updates (from SCF repository, now under the control of Automattic).

If you used ACF pro then the plug-in is downloaded from ACF website.

But.

The obvious next move is to put code in the core that would degrade ACF pro.
