Miraheze just got a new steward, so losing a steward isn't as bad as it could have been.
However, John had quite a bit of corporate knowledge - if he didn't document it anywhere, that's going to hurt the wiki farm.
As for moving, well... last week, we were at defcon2; now we're at defcon3. Backups are being made and stored on a different server, but aren't necessarily being copied off-site. (puts storage-and-backup hat on) They really should be copied off-site, preferably in a city far away from either of Miraheze's server farms, though. (takes storage-and-backup hat off)
Something still needs to be done to prevent a future meltdown. What that something is, we're still working out - and "we" has to include all of the remaining stewards.
