Maybe but it might be obsolete by then, especially considering how much lift capacity Starship will bring online. Will be a lot cheaper to just replace Webb.

It sounds like the main cost (time & $$$) with the Webb was R&D, not the actual launch. Am I wrong?

The main cost was testing. Another big cost was tooling, much of which has been lost.
