Evolution of the virus has clear direction only in the sense of it's infectiveness (and in this regard, Omicron is one of the worst viruses known to people and is unlikely to get any worse, moreover, if it will it won't make much difference). The virus does not "gain" anything from being more lethal, and it's as unlikely for the virus to become more lethal in some future variant as it was for the original bat virus, so we shouldn't be too afraid of it. Hospitalisation won't be a big deal because we have covid pills now and they are likely to work with any future variant equally. One thing to avoid is employing vaccines specially tailored against infection by Omicron. Because it puts the mild version of the virus at a disadvantage thus giving advantage to potential more dangerous ones. Unless the vaccine is designed in a way to suppress any potential future variant, although i don't think such a thing can be created.
