Great read!
I think a bonus point in favour of composition here is the power of static typing. Introducing advanced features like protocols can bring back some of that safety that this article describes as being exclusive to inheritance.
Overall, I think composition will continue to be the future going forward, and we'll find more ways to create that kind of compilation-time safety without binding ourselves into too restrictive or complicated models.
