Data Center migration to Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Our organization is building multiple data centers using hyperconverged infrastructure. Right now we have a traditional setup using spine/leaf and VPCs to connect to our Core. We are flooded with work on planning and preparation to migrate to the hyperconverged data centers.

I am concerned that once we are fully migrated to this new data center that the need for pure network engineers/admins will be reduced on our team. Obviously we will still have our distro/access equipment to worry about and perimeters but the data centers will now be completely virtualized.

Has anyone adapted to a situation like this before? I feel most of the duties will be turned over to system administrators and the number of network personnel will be reduced. Will I be able to offer much as a network engineer if I adapt? Any advice moving forward is greatly appreciated.
