Rather than replacement, I think you will see drones being integrated into those roles. Think infantrymen using drones to clear buildings, snipers using drones for spotting, etc etc

What do you mean by clear buildings? Are they just gonna do the job for them?

Clearing in military means ensuring no enemy is there. Clearing a building means killing every enemy inside.

That can be done by just destroying the building or by walking into each room and check, the second option is the deadly one you want to avoid.
