Firefox will probably loose enough usera already because of the webextensions
only policy so you might rather add something to the api instead of taking
things away. If its a useful api someone will use it when writing extensions.

What will happen to WebExtension Experiments once these APIs start

the same XPCOM APIs as XUL addons.
We shouldn't be removing APIs that have no alternative.
As a blanket statement, I don't understand what this means.
I am thinking the exact opposite sentiment: after Firefox 57 when
Webextensions are the only extensions, if our product no longer needs some
functionality (and it's "API"), let's remove it. Quickly and ruthlessly. We
need to actively work to maintain less code.
Do we disagree, or do I misunderstand?
