Ingenuity was designed for a couple flights at best, so we've already gotten more out of it than ever expected. Have to suppose that engineers designed surviving Martian winters into everything we sent there so no reason to think things won't work after temperatures warm back up.

If the solar panels, which use the sunlight to charge Ingenuity's batteries, become too occluded with dust, it may be the demise of the tiny craft... Time will tell though...
