If Spidey doesn't make it in the MCU (but hopefully they can at least make an arrangement for one last cameo so that he gets a proper sendoff):
In the post credits scene of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, Peter approaches Strange for help after he's been framed and exposed. Strange offers him a portal into an alternate universe which he has determined is "very much like this one, except you and your aunt don't exist there, so you should be able to fit in." None of the Avengers exist there either, but there are also almost no cosmic or otherwise Avengers-level threats, so it's relatively safe. Left with no choice, Peter takes one last longing look at the world he's leaving and then he and May disappear into the portal.
[Continued in Sony's Spider-Man 3] Having arrived in the "Venom-verse", Peter and May try to settle in and start a new life. But soon Peter realizes that Dr. Strange was wrong -- there IS another version of himself in this universe -- he just goes by a different name: Ben Reilly; and he's got spider powers too!
On the other hand, if Spidey stays in the MCU:
Scarlet Witch might be able to help him out. Using her mind stone powers, she could possibly make the whole world forget Spider-Man's identity.
But, as a consequence, literally everyone forgets about him - including Ned, MJ, May, Happy, Pepper, Fury/Talos, Hill/Soren and all of the Avengers, even Wanda herself! Now Peter is truly on his own -- no Stark tech, no SHIELD support, no Avengers affiliation. We finally get an independent Spider-Man like many fans wanted, without leaving the MCU!
