They’re surrounded by friendly countries, any of which would be defended by their allies if attacked. Spending targets are a farce anyway, some countries started meeting them by counting military pensions as military expenditure.

Countries that are genuinely at risk, like Nordics, Poland and Romania should be planning for a future without NATO.
