Facebook does not support OpenID Connect and I haven't seen much activity
from them in the community. But you would obviously need to hear from them
what their plans are for support of the standard. But given their existing
reach across the ecosystem, I think it would probably be a net negative for
them to try to migrate those apps to a new protocol for little developer
benefit (it's work and they are left in the same place as before- with
Facebook sign in).

As far as the rest of the ecosystem goes, US IDPs seem to be moving
strongly toward OIDC. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL have either
already launched support or are in the process of doing so.
Internationally, I've mostly seen OAuth2 based implementations but
hopefully we will see more traction for OIDC. For enterprises, solutions
like Azure Active Directory, Google for Work, Ping Identity, Okta, etc,
have already launched OIDC IDP support.

If you want to do hybrid of OIDC and OAuth2/Facebook etc, I'd strongly
recommend an IDaaS offering like Auth0, Firebase, Ping, Okta, etc. There's
low value in implementing and managing this yourself.
