There's always some silver lining.
I think this increased adoption of PieFed might even benefit instances sticking to Lemmy; Lemmy development will likely speed up, to avoid making Lemmy seem "obsolete" in comparison with PieFed.
Not too sure about this.
Perhaps. I can't rule out completely the possibility of Lemmy stagnating. In that case as PieFed development progresses, and the feature gap becomes wide, more and more instances shift from one to another. I do think however the Lemmy devs won't simply see their software being replaced without "fighting back" (in a good way).
A third possibility would be specialisation - PieFed and Lemmy still coexisting, but taking different niches.
