The Iris devs are making a new mod called Aperture, that will fully replace Iris/Optifine and then some. Hopefully the newer shaders will be able to take advantage of a lot of modern hardware features like ray tracing. It is going to be a real pain to translate existing shaders though (speaking as someone who will have to do that at some point)
