There are no guarantees that it will not shut down, anything can happen, but those 6 months is more like a promise that it will stay alive at least until 2020 as a minimum .

ex, in essence, was the special site for all contributors. it is where you can access all library of all content without any adds while ehentai was more like a softcore porn site which exists to make money from advertising by displaying a fraction of all available content.
if gallery contains at least *one* loli picture it will not be shown on ehentai now I suspect that bestiality and other controversial content also will be treated same way depending on the changes in that law.
the reason why they had this system was to make money, because good advertisers refuse to put adds on the site which contain even fictional child porn. And in fact not even hinting any kind of affiliation with such site is allowed. This is why it was kept kind of a secret.

Uploading to ehentai is possible but you can't be sure if your work will not be removed because someone will decide to tag it as loli.
also if you already know that it is heavy loli, you can upload it to your recycle bin with the same result.
Without any place to host your work translation becomes pretty meaningless as well.
some artists also use ex as a primary host for their work.

The current situation is actually not something new, it already happened when sadpanda did not exist.
at that time admin decided to remove all loli content from ehentai to please advertisers and it was a fuss similar to what is happening now. so at that time, ex was created with exclusive access for select people and probably as a source for other websites.
