This does not impact assets transferred with Wormhole or IBC, according to the announcement. It notes that bridging via Portal Bridge (Wormhole) and IBC will remain available on Terra Bridge Classic until May 30, 2023, upon which the Terra Bridge Classic interface will sunset.
The shuttle was pivotal in allowing for the bridging of assets to Ethereum, BSC and Harmony before other bridging options became available.
