There's still a lot of work out there for Angular 1.X. If you want to wait for a larger paradigm shift in front end development, I don't think you need to worry. Also incremental improvements are a thing in lots of fields. Science and math make small amounts of progress, build to a critical mass of new theory, and then a new field or concept can be born.
