If this proves to be all it's to be, then soon this will make no difference. Just like in the US, getting a driver's license is not required to be done on a stick shift, cause 97% of the cars on the road are automatic. So will getting certified in an electric airplane make no difference compared to its old and 'outdated' internal combustion friends. As far as career progression for a professional pilot, most pilots don't deal with mixture/carb heat etc as jet engine themselves are mostly fully automatic with a start button and a fuel cutoff switch and a thrust lever. And even some of those are coming out too and will become obsolete within just a few years time.
