I wouldn't be too worried. I mean I think it's possible but I feel like it's a while away.
As a native Android dev, my arm-chair hypothesis is that currently both of those (kotlin, flutter) are targeting different developers and until either one starts including the other developers then I don't see any one winning over.
Kotlin - loved by native devs
Flutter/Dart - web devs (previous experience with JS)
*I'm biased as a Native android dev but from my experience this is the case. Also Kotlin is really a great/fun(ctional)/expressive language
