It all depends on roster allocation. If the people in charge of baseball just decide, through market research or whatever other viewership or fan driven analytics they want to use, not to allow additional roster spots on teams, for more pitchers......this "doomsday" scenario (according to many fans anyways) will never come into play.
If they really want teams to figure out how to extend pitchers back out, they can take away a roster spot (or give it to a position player instead, to satisfy the players union), and limit back and forth minor league options.
