> Google has surprisingly shown strong support

IIRC, Flutter started at Google.

Yeah but it was really unclear for a while if Google was actually serious about Flutter. I believe they previously had a similar project which got shelved. Being the official framework for Fuschia didn't help either because at the time (and even now...) Fuschia was very very alpha so that too could be shutdown at any moment.

Google rarely keep products like this going for very long.

There are a couple of notable exceptions but the list of abandoned developer tools coming out of Google is far longer.

Given you're doubling down you're taking a massive risk as a business. As an employee you also risk making yourself unemployable going all in on Dart and Flutter.
