Parcel has been around for awhile, and the project currently has a lot of activity - I've made the call to migrate an old create-react-app project to Parcel 2 and in general it is going well.
The nice thing about Parcel is that it is intentionally low-config with relatively intuitive defaults, which tells me that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to move to a different bundler in the future. Webpack has gotten better, but you can quickly end up with a _lot_ of Webpack-specific config that makes future migrations hard.
That said, optimizing for future migrations shouldn't generally be your #1 priority - I also like Parcel's speed, and new things like ParcelCSS just validate that further.
