Did you even think that one of the reason for such a decline, is that OpenStack is moving too fast, and has no LTS? Some major public cloud (which I will on purpose not name) are still running Kilo, which was released 3 years ago! 3 or 5 years support for an LTS version is the industry standard, and OpenStack is doing only 1 year. This has driven people away, and will continue to do so if nothing is done. Instead of thinking "this will be more work", why don't you think of the LTS as an opportunity to only release OpenStack Chef for the LTS? That'd be a lot less work indeed, and IMO that's a very good opportunity for you to scale down.
