As for antiquities, it could go either way. I wouldn't be surprised if it locks out if you lose access to the content. The DB, Psijic and TG skill lines stay open, but you can't advance them unless you're actively subscribed. However, Jewelry can, and locks. (So, I suspect Antiquities will lock, because you can keep leveling it without having to run home and get quests to keep ranking up.)

I'm not sure, but judging by recent complaints in this forum, I think players who got free access to the Greymoor expansion at launch and unlocked the Antiquities skill line before the free access bug was fixed have been able to keep the Antiquities skill line without any limitations (other than being unable to scry and excavate leads in zones they don't have access to).

Addendum: I realize you're talking about access to Antiquities once the next chapter is released and Greymoor gets demoted to a "normal DLC" that's "free" if you have ESO+, but then your ESO+ expires. However, I figure that if players were going to be locked out of Antiquities upon losing access to Greymoor, it would have already happened to the players who'd exploited the free access bug at Greymoor's launch.

That is a pretty strong indicator that it will still be available if your ESO+ lapses. (Obviously, in the future, when Greymoor is DLC.) Though, it is possible it'll be reworked. I preoredered Greymoor for both my accounts, so I can't speak from personal experience.
