As a big user of MySQL - moving off of it does seem like a good idea, if you can. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to flee
It's a large ecosystem with multiple server vendors (Oracle MySQL, MariaDB, Percona, VillageSQL) that are relatively easy to migrate between, compared to moving to a completely different DBMS ecosystem.
Sometimes there are valid technical motivations to move away completely, but a nonsensical fear of a massively-used GPL database somehow becoming closed-source (with no surviving forks or continuity) is not one of them in my book!
