Between toilet paper and cardboard for all the online shipping I don’t think a lignin (the byproduct for artificial vanilla) shortage is likely. Imitation vanilla can also be made from petroleum byproducts which unfortunately also remains a very large industry.

Good news is that most gummies are made with agar and other non-animal products instead of gelatin. Gelatin gummies need to be cooked while agar type ones are cooled (much easier to manufacture).
How to tell the difference:
Agar gummies squish.
Gelatin gummies bounce.
