It's always hard to predict the future. IMHO IRDA has already mostly
disappeared. Very few devices still have an IRDA port. It's been pretty
much usurped by bluetooth.

It is still used alot for debug/programming ports on things like
electrical meters.

Personally, I'd avoid designing something with IRDA and instead use
wireless. If you are stuck with optical then perhaps you can just buy
enough modules so you'll never have to worry about them no longer being
available?
