The Classic Editor workaround plugin has had millions, literally millions, of installs as Wordpress users reject the new editor hand over fist.

I don't personally see this happening. The proverbial cat is out of the bag. Theyve spent more than a year developing it and makiing it "core". They've done videos and tutorials and speeches and rollouts etc all touting how great it is. If you watch Matt Mullenweg's keynote speech, he is literally giggling and gushing over it. There's no chance he is backtracking on it.
I think best case scenario is extended support for the classic editor plugin beyond the stated 2 years. But even then, I cannot see the WP Dev team continuing to be invested on two types of editors.
