Since privileges are obtained after crossing respective thresholds, I was wondering do they also get taken away if reputations fall back, especially after awarding bounty, to a level below the threshold.

Yes, you'll lose privileges. See the Help Center article about setting bounties:
- If your new reputation brings you below the requirement for any privileges, you will lose access to those privileges.
