Your (1) is most certainly true.
As for your (2), most mathematicians I know have at most a passing interest in formalization, Mathlib, and Lean. My understanding, which is admittedly quite superficial, is that AI is actually getting quite good at translating human-readable mathematics. I could be mistaken about this, but even if there is a lot of human work to do, it sounds like a lot of anal-retentive oversight of work you didn't do yourself -- the sort of task that academics love to complain about!
Perhaps human interest in Lean will grow, but I don't anticipate it occupying the attention of more than a small slice of the community.
Your (3) is an interesting question. I work on the theoretical rather than applied side, but what you describe might very well be true for applied mathematicians.
