If you put a shebang in your shell scripts, then you have nothing to worry about.

  Except the article suggested they might remove bash from macOS altogether at some point, which would make that a pain

    That would be unfortunate, and would probably require /bin/bash to be a symlink to either /bin/zsh or /bin/sh to prevent many scripts from failing. For portability reasons, I always use #!/bin/sh unless I actually use some bash feature(s), but a lot of scripts explicitly invoke bash even when they don't have to.

    They already are stuck at some version of Bash that's been out of date for almost a decade because Bash changed its licensing on the newer releases.

      Right, but some of us care more about cross-compatibility in our shell than shiny new features
