Forms Disappeared?
From what I gather, this is expected and isn't a bug. An option would be to move these Forms into a group, which I understand would preserve the Forms independently of any individual users.
Transfer ownership of your form
Just to add some additional info from the FAQ:
The original owner of a form is no longer with my organization and/or their Microsoft Forms license has been removed. What happens to the data that is associated with the form they created?
All account-related data will be deleted 30 days after a user account has been deleted from your tenant (Azure AD).

Fair enough.
Would moving a Form to a group by default make anyone in that group a collaborator on said Form?
One way to address this is we created a Forms service account independent of an actual user to serve as the owner of some Forms.
Yes to your first point, that's how I understand it works "you can easily move it to a group so everyone in your group becomes owners of that form". It's a nice feature by the looks of it, preserving responses, existing links will still work and new responses will continue to be captured.
Your second point, yes that could work also, I'd personally try out group forms first and see if that would be more suitable.
