There's always going to be a need to adapt generic managed services to fit into a particular business domain or organization. I think asserting these jobs will disappear is susceptible to the lump of labor fallacy. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy)

If this trend continues the more likely outcome is these roles will evolve. Deep technical understanding will still be required along with a need to spend more time in dialogue with these systems users. If anything it'll cause wages to dramatically skyrocket because relatively fewer have the capacity to perform both of those effectively.
