"Effective from 15 February 2024, Google Groups will no longer support
new Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of historical data will still be supported as it is done today."

Observe: "Posting ... will be disallowed" - woo hoo!
Goodbye Google Gropes! Remember to close the door on your way out!
I only wish that our beloved Blinky could be here to share in the celebrations.

Blinky the Shark did _not_ want to stop Google Groups archiving posts,
as will also happen in February 2024. Blinky wanted _only_ to stop
Google Groupers posting from Google groups.

Anyone know if Archive.org has plans to step in?

The Internet Archive (Archive.org) has other problems to worry about
at this time. Use your favourite Internet search engine to search for "Hachette v. Internet Archive".
That aside, the best place for you to find whether Archive.org has
plans to step in would be for you to read the Archive.org blog. Go to <https://archive.org/> and at the right, under "Archive News", click on
the link "more posts".

Blinky would consider the outcome to be a mixed blessing.
