I'm in this same predicament. I used to have to do constant backup/restore on family member computers, and Crashplan really made that painless. This transition is going to be a real pain.

So far it doesn't look like they're keeping the free peer-to-peer backups, which I was using for the less important computers, so this would more than double the price if I went for the SB plans.

Yeah, it seems that not only would the peer-to-peer backup process stop working, the already-backed-up files would be rendered useless too.

Relying on user accounts and "backup codes" stored on CrashPlan's servers sounds like it was an additional point of failure.
