Deprecated vs not supported

"Deprecation" means "at some stage in future, we *might* stop doing enhancements on this features, and at some stage after that, we *might* no longer support it".
Does it mean you should stop using it straight away ? No. But it means in terms of your future strategies, you should keep it in mind.
Hope this helps.
Deprecation

I wouldn't worry too much about deprecation. There are features that have been deprecated for as long as I've been working with Oracle (> 20 years) that are still hanging around - CHAR datatype comes to mind.

How would that work if they removed support for non-cdbs? So in order to use Oracle going forward, you would have to pay standard licensing fees plus the multitenancy option just to use Oracle? Maybe that's just a tactic to scare people into buying that option :P

No you're reading it wrong.
A multitenancy license is only require if you intend to have *more* than 1 pluggable database within a container (so you get all the benefits that come with that, eg thin provisioning, snapshots etc etc).
A container database with a single pluggable database does *not* require any additional licensing. So it's reasonable to assume, that at some point in the future, a "non-cdb" will convert to a "single pluggable"
hope this helps.
