I hadn't strictly thought this out, but I guess what I'm thinking is that your basic CRUD scripts on steroids. What if it didn't need your domain knowledge to run the scripts? What if the styled output of the scripts was high-quality UI? - Not to shame your scripts, but I'm thinking back to my Rails days and though I could 'generate' everything, I then would have to manually go in and edit the code so that it did what we really wanted.

What if the person requesting whatever function (report, process, notification, etc) could have this system built without a developer?

That make developers replaceable. I'm not suggesting this is happening in the short-term, but as you say yourself, you use scripts for your basic CRUD development. What is stopping those scripts from moving up market to the point where you are not needed.

Front-end devs who used to write HTML and CSS would have said they where always needed because a computer can't make a webpage. But look at SquareSpace, Wix and the like. Again, this isn't every job, but this is a portion of the market which is no longer served by a person, and that will continue.

The new jobs will be in training and building these systems, which I think is historically how industrialization has progressed.
