I always thought of serverless as yet another fad to come and go. In my career it seems like these things come in waves.

1. The single page application wave came and we rewrote our Rails 3 app to Angular.

2. Serverless came along and we were building things with Firebase and other services we didn't control.

3. Chat bots came along and suddenly we had automatic pop ups on our site offering help and sales.

4. Microservices came along so we broke Rails into a bunch of services and languages and frameworks.

5. React came along and we replaced Angular.

None of these things ever last. I focus on the fundamentals and keep my core competency strong. Learn old/boring/proven technology. If it has been around for 15 years it will probably be around in 15 years...
