Those religious populations have always had high fertility, and also always had high rates of departure from the religious communities. I wouldn’t make any bets on their worldviews suddenly dominating the world anew

Conservative Judaism is essentially replacing liberal/secular Judaism in both the us and Israel while the population is still growing. So at least in the near term this is a real thing.

Religious populations out reproducing non religious is a real thing.

To be clear, there is a difference between "Conservative Judaism" and Hassidic Judaism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Judaism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasidic_Judaism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Orthodox_Judaism

I think the general point you're making probably still stands, but I think the distinction is more than merely pedantic.
