Nah, you’ll still have the 3rd pedal so still a massive difference in operation and flexibility when and how to use the clutch between MT and DCT even if you move to shift by wire.

These new features is more like DSC, there to protect your life and car from your mistakes or the human limitations in reaction times. The way you operate will not change much.
