I guess yes. https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8294957 would be a good place to track the progress. As the overview JBS issue mentions, there are other ad-hoc utilities that read class files, such as proprietary libraries. In addition, [asmtools](https://github.com/openjdk/asmtools) which generates some assemblies can be migrated to Classfile API as well in the future.
