We speak in hypotheticals of course, but barring any physics defying barriers here, one can imagine a future where those issues you raised have been addressed (e.g improved simulation/ML techniques, less red tape, faster trials, greater accessibility to treatment). Even now, I think mankind's immune defense is no longer confined to itself, but must be thought of as a bigger system that extends to the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Any sufficiently ambitious bacteria is basically taking on not just us, but also the collective work of all researchers diligently working on the next super bug killer.
