The one good thing about our future is we'll definitely have worked out the female problem just by necessity

No. The A10 going to be in frontline service by the 2035 or so, unless there's some catastrophic-scale war where the US has to pull out all the stops regardless of materiel and personnel losses. Which seems extremely unlikely.
The A10s just aren't very useful by modern standards, modernizing them is insanely expensive, and most of the airframes in service are already very old and very worn.
The A10 is overdue for retirement by any and all standards. It can be reasonably argued that it should have been retired just a decade into service, by that time it was already arguably obsolete for killing tanks, and not particularly good for infantry support.
None of those two factors have changed since then.
They're still not capable of killing any tanks made since mid mid 1960s, and they're still rocking inaccurate guns with WWII-era aiming devices.
The upgraded versions with modern electronics and sights, capable of dropping modern guided bombs, cost almost as much as multi-role fighter jets, so they're completely and utterly pointless considering that the they cost like 10 times more than dedicated infantry support aircraft, which are also far easier and cheaper to operate in the long run.

Look at Ukraine for example. You have a society of men that are willing to do their duty and defend their country, but the women refuse their duties to their nation.

This isn't just happening in Ukraine, but across much of the world. Be it by making the women do their duties or by circumventing the need for women entirely, a solution will have to be found.

A-10 is saved by the same thing keeping all the other old legacy vehicles in service; attempting to make a functional replacement would result in a SNAFU on par with the Zumwalt and B1 Lancer that isn't worth contending with versus silently extending its lifespan by shoving in new electronics. We will get the A-10D, not because we want or need it, but because R&D doesn't know how to make anything new without being rendered schizophrenic by Congress.
