I'm always a bit skeptical when such grand claims are made. There is a huge gap between academic results and industry implementation.
Case in point, graphene has been touted for two decades as the material that will replace silicon in computer chips. Progress is being made, but we're still far from that specific end goal. When trying to displace an existing industry, it does not suffice to be 2 or even 10 times better. The new technology has to be 100 or even 1000 times better. Otherwise, it is not worth it from an industry point of view to replace a well-established technique for which the procedures and methods have been refined over the last 50+ years.
The linked article in IEEE seems to acknowledge that, as it is an extensive roadmap including all the expected hurdles to get there.
