2 weeks ago a dude came to me at a rum shop asking me if I could help him with his 2014 android wallet backup (to which he also forgot his password.) The same will happen for bdb wallets, so we better make sure we have tools to recover.
Part of the legacy wallet removal project was that Ava wrote a new minimal read-only implementation of BDB that has all the parts we need for being able to read legacy wallets indefinitely. The wallet migration tool will be part of all future releases of Bitcoin Core.
