You would still have to pay the hosting fees.
But yes, a way to migrate users like you can on Mastodon would be cool.
And a clean implementation of shutting down instances would be great. If you are overwhelmed with life and want to quit then it should be as easy as possible - it would benefit the ecosystem by increasing trust.

Hosting a static website is virtually free. All that static JSON is going to amount to a few gigabytes of data, you can compress to save up to an order of magnitude. I can bet you that I can store all of lemm.ee’s data (and media!) on Storj for less than $20/month.
