I'd see the optimum as the opposite type of "democratization": replacing most narrow experts with smarter and smarter AI/ML systems (that will sooner or later surpass human-level specialist knowledge in most areas), and have like 90% of human beings educated to be integrators/"polymaths"/expert-generalists instead! That would make 1000x more sense!
And of course, humans can be augmented with higher bandwith interfaces when these becomes available, then have their minds uploaded and become "software", when that becomes possible etc. The general idea is that human-pattern minds (whether human or future human-like ones) are one of the best type of minds for integrating/generalizing/being-polymaths etc.!
Imho our whole educational systems are 100% wrong for focusing on training narrow-experts and not of a mix of mostly integrators and "T-shaped people" instead! It's like we're training fishes to climb trees! Human brains are inherently bad at focusing and specializing by nature of how evolution built their freakin hardware even.
