Instead of shutting down completely, why not this:

For goo.gl links that were created by google, continue redirecting them as normal. For others, show a warning page explaining to the user that the link wasn't created (or vouched for) by google. If they press an "agree" button, still don't show a clickable link, but instead show it as plain text to be copied.

Yeah, this is sorta what's already happening. They stopped new links years ago, and are only removing "inactive" links now.
