Yes, I would, if I know that I can trust the packagers. I don't care
about QA and security team (though it is a nice bonus). I trust fedora
contributors to do things right, though, when they are (even selfishely) 
interested in something. And it could happen that some fedora contributors
are interested in doing Updates after the EOL. Although I wouldn't
certainly use such a release, if there was some infrastructure, I would
certainly try to fix critical issues in most of my own packages in such 
a setting (especially since I already do it in EPEL). I already do that
for the stable releases I don't use, so...
