I'm not as worried independent implementations become impossible as much as nobody wants to do them. Smaller backed projects like Ladybird and Flow get plenty far already for me to feel confident independent implementations are possible but, at the same time, Edge and Opera being moved to a Chromium base show it's very hard for independent implementations to align justification out of more than principle. This would be less of a problem if there was more even control on the Chromium side. Right now the vast majority goes the way Google wants it to go, with minor control of what happens via e.g. Microsoft or other developers. If it were more shared it wouldn't be as big a concern that this one giant complicated machine grows ever more. I mean that's basically the reality of Linux in a lot of markets.
