Of course.

There will always be a need for maintainers to exist the same reason why engineers are needed to fix assembly line machines in factories.

My role would change, but ultimately I'd still be relatively useful.

I might transition a greater percentage of my time to instructing though.

One day development will be the tech support of automation, you think?

I'm thinking that the person-to-person component (aka management or client-facing stuff) will not diminish. I might move into that.
