Oh, definitely -- but I think the project is much healthier now.
Back then, if Han-Wen or Jan were hit by a bus or took a
commercial job (the two leading causes of death for open-source
developers :), development would stall almost entirely, and the
next generation would have a much harder time getting started.
Now we have half a dozen people with a decent understanding of
lilypond's internal architecture, so if anything happened to one
of them, it wouldn't derail things as much.
