I highly doubt many of us will play this game actively 5 years from now.
look at things from this perspective: you joined last year, meaning you have been around for about a year now, or about half a dozen "5 years from now". There are a lot of people actively around in osu that have been around way longer than that, even I have been here longer than 6 years. So from this perspective, there is no reason to believe it'd significantly die suddenly on it's own during few more years, unless some additional things happened to work as the catalyst
additionally, as mentioned here

osu! is open source, meaning anybody can contribute. I remember mention there will be support for 3rd party servers in the future. So if core osu! team suddenly disappears due to aliens or something, other people may pick up where they left off
many quite old games, many that aren't exactly open source either (just cracked or otherwise), are kept alive by active fanbases years after the "death of the game", and that would possibly happen with osu! as well, no matter what goes on with the official game support
in any case, like was also mentioned, it's just a game, no matter how fond you are of it or your time here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
