I can tell you what you won't see, stronger magnets, at least not stronger than those currently being built out of high-temperature superconductors (HTS.) LTS magnets are limited by the magnetic fields the conductors can withstand before they lose the ability to superconduct. HTS can withstand a much higher magnetic field, but this is unrelated to the temperature at which they superconduct.
A room temperature superconductor will have different properties, maybe it can handle a higher magnetic field or not, we cant yet say. But what we do know is that the current limit to building HTS magnets is no longer the superconductor, but the strength of the supporting material which is steel. Find a stronger material and you can build a stronger magnet. A superconductor, better than current HTS, won't change that.
