I’ll tell you my view, although it is obviously not a religious truth.
I have been in similar situations, and do not take it as an scaring fact, but companies do not tend to be 100% honest in the appreciation they have for your work, even if they want to. I’m mot doubting your work and progress is uber-valuable, but companies usually tell you that they appreciate you while thing are going in the good way. When the company faces issues, every detail they were not considering becomes a poisoned arrow against you.
That said, do not take this as a pessimistic view. I think you should just answer to yourself honestly: are you learning and having a growth perspective (as an ML engineer/Data Scientist) within the company? Are you feeling respected and valued (including in conditions/salary)? If the answer to any of these questions is No, I suggest you to begin searching for your new place. Remember that you don’t owe a thing to the company and the day they feel you are no more useful for them they will let you out without a doubt (that applies to any company).
