Exactly this. It would obviously be disappointing to lose leaderboards or any other massively multiplayer elements like that, but just being able to fire up the game and have fun with friends after the live service has shut down is basically all that needs to happen.
Leaderboards and such could still be kept along with high multiplayer count.
It might not be as 'unified' as a traditional live service, but it's totally feasible.
As long as they actually let you run a server its fairly easy to self host and there are plenty of services that let you rent professional grade systems with enough data and hardware to handle tons of players.
