But who will maintain those features going forward?

My worry is that developers can't outsource their understanding to AI forever. It's a lot of risk for companies to be accumulating code faster than developers can understand them.

AI will maintain the features, unless you think we're going back to the old days? The job of a developer will become 1) writing and refining specs, 2) "managing" agents by answering questions, evaluating new models, new tools, etc, 3) testing and validating AI output.
