Nuclear made up roughly the same percentage as coal now 20 years ago and is now fully replaced. Coal will be next and was already going down for years till the russian attack on Ukraine. Personally i would've liked it do be the other way around and at a much faster pace.

All your worries about base load really come into effect once we're over 80 or 90% renewables which is still a long way and technology will be much more advanced till then.
