I think managers can suffer from impostor syndrome, possibly even more than their employees. It's pretty easy to spot the behaviors of an insecure manager. Micromanaging. Needing to know all the details. Any now, not having face time as a means to assess his employees.
Remote work means managers need to learn a new way of doing their jobs. I don't think it means they will become redundant. I think it is more a matter of the discomfort some people get when required to learn a new job: "Can't I learn this?" "Will I be competent?" "This makes me uncomfortable." "It's just easier for me to make my employees come into the office."
