There were plethora of architectures and combinations being researched before LLM, still took a very long time to find LLM architecture.

Yes, I think this will happen at some point. The question is how long it will take, not if it will happen.
The only thing that can stop this is if intermediate AI is good enough to give every human a comfortable life but still isn't good enough to think on its own.
Its easy to imagine such an AI being developed, imagine a model that can learn to mimic humans at any task, but still cannot update itself without losing those skills and becoming worse. Such an AI could be trained to perform every job on earth as long as we don't care about progress.
If such an AI is developed, and we don't quickly solve the remaining problems to get an AI to be able to progress science on its own, its likely our progress entirely stalls there as humans will no longer have a reason to go to school to advance science.
