Not necessarily a future trend. When I took a class in compiler construction last semester, the professor considered it industry standard to use multiple (AFAIR he said "up to five") IRs in the same compiler/linker toolchain.

If we're looking at the full toolchain, then LLVM itself does already have either two or three internal IRs, and god only knows how modern linkers work in practice.
