As a quick clarification, Forgejo is a soft fork, not hard.

They will still benefit from upstream contributions.

There will come a point where the branches have diverged too far and merging becomes infeasible. So long-term, it's bound to become "hard".

Possibly, yeah. Although Codeberg was already sort of similar, they had patches on top of Gitea, so assuming it doesn't change too drastically it may stay feasible for quite a while.
