I don't think Naxos will go under any time soon. They are very active on
downloads, but still releasing about 15 new CDs every month.
Compare the web sites of Naxos and the old "majors" to see the
difference. Nowhere on any Sony/Columbia site can you find a catalogue
of what is available. The Naxos site is huge, well organised and kept up
to date.
So far as historical reissues are concerned, I think there is a healthy
market in Europe and the Far East.
