I think in the long run all of them will either get removed or converted to DT, though it looks like the DT conversion has not picked up for anything other than ep93xx. For the timeline, I need to ask the same people again that wanted the board files to stay two years ago. omap1 might be a good one to prioritize for software nodes, as that likely still has users and it would help getting closer to a DT version.
