They can't 'do away with classes' though as the existing classes are fundamentally linked to the lore and the very game's design - to scrap classes would require so much modification to the existing story, city designs and dialogue for no real benefit, so I do not actually see that happening.

Of course we sadly will no longer see any new classes added, but they simply won't be rolling in existing classes into their Jobs as it has almost zero benefit for a huge cost in development resources, so they'll just quietly ignore it.
