I can't see how that would work.
On my Android 'phone, I have 2 accounts - the one that's linked to the Legacy account, and the other to my personal Gmail account.
When that Legacy account no longer exists, I would then have to rely on my Gmail account - and the purchases I made through the Legacy account would not appear there.
Luckily, I realized my error a few years later, and began to purchase apps via my Gmail account instead.
Unfortunately, I purchased Aqua Mail Pro via the Legacy account, and currently it costs GBP £19.49 to buy again - and I don't intend doing that!
I would also have to re-purchase CalDAV-Sync and TweetCaster Pro - but those prices are currently more reasonable.
Edit: Google Play Store

I'm assuming here that, although this quote pertains to "disabled" accounts, it would also apply when Google trash the Legacy accounts.
I hope I'm proved wrong!
