I don't think that the Panasonic MFT is a risk. As Wim mentioned they will probably just merge it with the video stuff.
Given the convergence of still and video - see e.g. the GH-5 - this makes sense anyway.
I could very well imagine that, eventually, Oly and Pana will consolidate their efforts in a joint venture. That would avoid some of the strategic errors that they made in the past (like releasing the same stuff twice).
During my last vacation I was actually surprised how many people were still carrying around their system cameras so the segment is alive and kicking - just on a lower level.
