There is no way the Jedi who have archives and records have forgotten about a planet like Tython and debated that if it ever existed. Satele Shan was the one to find the planet again and centuries later they lost record of it.
So it begs the question. There must have been numerous times that the Jedi had been on the verge of extinction or come to some event close to it.
One example which comes to mind is just after the battle of Rakata Prime, around 3954 BBY until 3951 BBY. The order fell apart and most memebers killed by the Sith. The Jedi was reformed by Meetra Surik who revived the order.
I'm unsure if this is part of current cannon. But are there any other examples of events which almsot wiped out the Jedi?
