Does losing your .env file mean losing your APP_KEY value along with it?
Your APP_KEY is used for database field encryption. There is, so far, one field that is encrypted. Encyrption uses the APP_KEY. If you lose your APP_KEY, then you cannot de-crypt this encrypted database field.
So, it is important to store your APP_KEY somewhere. I just published doc about this.
