It likely won’t collapse to catastrophic failure but it will likely start sluffing in at some point. Those boards get old and start breaking There are ways to reengineer and salvage the shoring but the last hole I know of that was like this, it ended up being cheaper to fill it up and start...

It is city property, they didn't want to be responsible for the maintenance, which the developer offered to take care of but it would have automatically gone to the city regardless

Minimum wasn't just a sidewalk as many people have mentioned previously. There were plans for trees along the sidewalk. Epcor said no due to their power lines running under the sidewalk for multiple reasons. There were also plans for a bunch of planters to which the city said no. So maybe...
