Windows 10: Is it risky to use the Google credential provider for windows? what happen if the GCPW stop...

We have the following:-

1. G-Suite Basic edition.
2. 55 Windows 10 PCs.
3. We install the Google credential provider for windows inside the Windows 10 machines.
4. and we associate Google accounts with existing Windows profiles
5. so now users are login to their PCs using their google accounts.

everything seems working well.. but i am afraid of the following scenario:-

let say Microsoft publish some windows updates in the future and one of these updates cause the GCPW to stop working for a reason or another.. so in this case all our users will not be able to login to their PCs.. is my concern valid? if it is valid then how i can overcome this issue?

• Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator”
• In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and click “Stop”.
• Restart the computer and go back the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
