MLCC's look ready to take over nearly all uses of electrolytics.

They still degrade with time, but in a very predictable way.

That makes it possible to build a version of your design with all capacitors '50 year aged' and check it still works.

Sadly no engineering firm I know does this, despite it being very cheap and easy to do.
