I don't see the freighters getting phased out any time soon.

You'll definitely see a load of passenger carriers get scrapped, but cargo airlines will continue using them for another few decades due to the nose door so they can get big items in it. Some passenger carrying ones will probably get turned into freighters too.

Sort of how Nolinor still operates the 737-200 Combi with the gravel kit. It has features no or few other planes have.

Boeing has a refurbishment program to convert old passenger planes into freight, so probably.
