Regardless of the premise, anything that so needlessly worsens the climate emergency by wantonly wasting energy isn’t future proof.

For NFT, I think the energy issue is close to irrelevant. The tokens live on ETH blockchain which exists anyway and is massively larger than these tokens. There are also plans to migrate ETH off of PoW soonish, so it may become irrelevant.
