Part of me thinks it might be difficult for a well documented language to go extinct today.

  I was going to disagree, but looks like language is considered extinct when it has no speakers left, including second-language speakers. [1] The total loss of native speakers is called "language death" instead. So yes, Latin will likely never be extinct.
