My entire life relies on R6, but the choice to even use it while playing front page games is disappearing.

How so? Are you taking steps to use R15, or ensure that R6 keeps working after deprecation? If you aren’t, why not? If you can’t, then why not?

I’m not taking steps to use R15, because it’s a bit harder to use, the animation i’ll try to make with it will probably look ugly, and it’s incompatible with certain things.
R6 is easy to use. R6 can easily look good. R6 is already compatible with a lot of older things. R6 has been a part of me for a long time.

I doubt you would need to worry about R6 being deprecated any time soon. As you said,
A lot of games I still play use R6 exclusively and they tend to be better maintained. I can’t imagine how many unmaintained games exist with R6 exclusively that Roblox does not want to break.
If I had to make a prediction, I’d say we have 2 years.

The worst I could see happening to you is that R6 only games would be hidden from other players from finding them, or better (but still bad): making it show up on a lower priority when searching games.

Alright, I think what I am about to send should clarify this. It was taken from a ROBLOX article: https://blog.roblox.com/2016/03/the-future-of-the-roblox-avatar/
They clearly stated the following:
From what I can imagine this means they are unlikely to remove it so you should be able to continue using it in your game. Would like to note this is an article from 2016, but the second article I am about to link below shows their 2018 position on the matter: Roblox Avatar Expansion - Roblox Blog
Hopefully this clarifies everything for you. In conclusion R6 will not be removed anytime soon. As for whether you should use it the choice is yours. Some R6 games are still very popular, so theres nothing wrong with still using it.
