NPM has a huge and strong community. There will be no more than a couple of days and you could see replacements of those modules again on npm, but with a different name.
Not to mention most of the modules on NPM that are maintained by one person are usually less than 1k lines of code.
If you have a small project then it would not be a huge thing to replace them, if you have a big project, you've probably already did that.
