Difference between Admob Ads and Firebase Ads
I'm trying to migrate from Google analytics to the new Firebase analytics but I noticed there are libraries for ads too. Are firebase ads going to replace admob ads as well? Should I keep using admob via google play services? Or make a switch to the Firebase SDK? What's the difference anyways?

Happily, these are the same thing! The 'firebase-ads' dependency just brings in the existing 'play-services-ads' library and the 'firebase-analytics' library. The Firebase SDK is part of Google Play services, so no need to worry about migrating, just update to the latest version.
Exactly as Kastriot says, the main integration is between Firebase Analytics and AdMob, but the AdMob SDK is still the same service you're already familiar with.

If I migrate an Admob app to firebase, will old versions of my app (with old Admob API) stop loading ads, or will they keep working?

They'll keep right on working. The ad units don't need to change, or anything like that.

Can I safely just change the gradle file lines, from Admob to Firebase, and it will work exactly the same? Is it even worth it? Will Admob repository always get updated, just like Firebase ads?

Linking your app(s) to Firebase enables Firebase Analytics and AdMob
to work together more closely. By choosing to link your app to
Firebase, you allow more of your Analytics data to be used by AdMob
independent of your Firebase Analytics Data Sharing Settings.
Check Admob - Google Support for more information and Admob - Firebase
