If I look at % then it's still around. I think that .format will also be around for foreseeable future. However there are signs that development of 'convenience' features will be targeted to f-strings.
From Python 3.8 one can do 'print debugging' with f-strings more simpler:
In my opinion the promotion of f-strings is targeted to beginners. There is no reason not to learn 'the latest and greatest' features of language. Any professional setting is bound to restrictions imposed by existing codebase.

>>> a = 'spam'
>>> b = 'ham'
>>> print(f'{a=} and {b=}') # instead of f'a={a} and b={b}'
a='spam' and b='ham'If you look at controversial PEP 572 -- Assignment Expressions ('walrus operator') then one can observe that there are f-strings used as examples and no .format method. It can be interpreted subtle indication of focus of Python development.In my opinion the promotion of f-strings is targeted to beginners.
