So far, there’s only a BlueSky post from someone claiming to be one of the laid-off engineers, but if confirmed, it doesn’t bode well.

Yikes, that's not great. At least for the moment seems like Bandcamp is still going but actions like this don't bode well for the future.

I don't mind buying FLACs at Qobuz but they feel way less indie centric IMO, not sure if all the smaller acts I follow are even on there. Subvert (https://www.subvert.fm/) did launch as a Bandcamp alternative but it might take a while before it catches on.

I like the idea of Subvert but finding content is harder than Bandcamp, and half the time I have the error "Failed to verify your browser" which is some kind of stupid security check.

There are several Bandcamp alternatives that have spun up. Ampwall.com, mirlo.space, jam.coop. Probably others as well, it's honestly a little overwhelming.
