I don't think those layoffs are the end of WP, BUT it could mean the end of Nokia devices. Not right at the moment but in something like 2 years that might be the case. Satya Nadella wasn't a big fan of inquiring Nokia devices and with those layoffs this could mean in not so distant future Microsoft will only be making 2 or 3 phones, much like Apple or Google. Let's just hope that before that happens Microsoft will have enough serious company's that will have WP devices in all ranges. WP is important for them, like it or not. Leaving it die would mean also the death of Microsoft. They just can't live with only PCs and expect people will use their services on Android. I wouldn't be using Outlook and OneDrive if I had Android phone.
And I'm not sure about that unified OS on all devices. This seems impossible at the moment. RT and WP yes but x64 Windows ? X64 processor wont run ARM OS and ARM processor won't run x64 OS. Same OS would mean all devices having a x64 processor, like Intel Atoms but then we have problem because none of current phones would run this OS and I certainly hope they don't have courage to do something like that.
