I think it'd be super cool to have one of Brock's siblings officially a gym leader in his place in the future. Seeing Visquez (slight spoilers for those who have not watched the Pokémon Journeys anime) as the new Vermillion City gym leader in place of Lt. Surge would be cool too, I think she deserves an in-game cameo/recognition!

If we go by GSC standards then I'd say most Gym Leaders would probably stay the same, just older. The only ones quitting I think may be Lt. Surge and Blaine. Actually, I could see Surge becoming one of the E4. After all Koga has shown us that it's possible.
Koga, Bruno and Lance are also characters I'd consider pretty consistent in their performance. So them staying in their position would make sense to me.
In terms of places the one that seems most up in the air is Cinnabar Island. While the town was destroyed due to a volcanic eruption, it still seems to be somewhat frequented. So I wouldn't be surprised if people went back and started rebuilding everything.
Thinking about it: we never actually found out what happened to the people living there during the outbreak, did we?

Gym Leaders:
Brock, Misty, Erika, Janine, and Sabrina would definitely stick around, given how they're still relatively young. Another Trainer might even take Blue's place, as he may either stay and monitor the Battle Tree with Red or even spend time with Oak in his apparent final years.
Lt. Surge might move some ranks, and, as one user put it very well, could even become an Elite Four member. I personally see him either becoming a professional sports coach or even returning to the army, though.
Blaine would definitely retire. I'd imagine a very energetic and scientific young woman taking his place, just to keep Cinnibar and the Seafoam Islands as lively as ever.
Elite Four:
Lt. Surge could hypothetically take Bruno's place. I'd imagine Bruno himself may even step down and train in Mt. Silver, especially when Red is no longer there, given his prestigious position in Alola.
The Pokémon in Mt. Silver are more than perfectly strong enough to keep Bruno and his Pokémon in shape. He might even take the Karate King's unsuccessful and youthful apprentices under his wing.
I would imagine that Agatha might be dead by now, while Lorelei makes it her mission to keep both the Sevii Islands and Kanto safe. I'd hope the former makes peace and gets positive personal closure on her history with Oak beforehand.
Lance is still the Champion, all things considered. His role in helping Ethan, Kris or Lyra take down Team Rocket is a feat worthy of maintaining the highest possible authority a strong trainer like himself might have for life.
Will and Koga would definitely still be around. Karen may even become a mom. I'd imagine she would have a daughter who eventually takes her place.
The Region itself
The place becomes much cleaner, as Erika's efforts for a greener and more environmentally friendly Kanto would be accepted and executed by many.

if they can do that, they might even install a new Gym in the town or something. if Blaine retires and Cinnabar's still in shambles 2 decades later, Kanto kinda needs one to finish out the 8 Gyms requirement.
if it's gon be a Ghost gym, Agatha might need to retire too to not make things redundant or smth (also i just realized there's so many boomers in Kanto damn)
