There will not be autonomous strikes. Too much potential for collateral damage. Also one person never watches 30 feeds. It's usually 1 or 2 analysts per feed.

I imagine there will only be specific use cases for this system.

>It's usually 1 or 2 analysts per feed.

there is no way they can put 1000 analysts on a small operation like kicking rebels out of a village :)

Another example - Russian anti-ship missiles attack in a "pack" where they automatically identify and assign targets between them.

The point is one way or another the "human in the loop" is just temporarily and very limited configuration, and it will be gone once we start to see real mass application of drones, especially when by multiple actors, as like in CIWS systems humans just can be fast enough and wouldn't be able to manage an encounter between for example hundreds of drones.
