If by this you mean, as more high-J 789s come, other 787s are displaced, then I agree with you. But I am about 99% certain we will not be seeing the high-J 789s launching all-new routes, unless we are talking something like EWR-SIN with a IGW model.
If there are markets in which UA can expect to sell more J than the current 777/787 configurations allow, and are within the capability of the current fleet, it's probably reasonable to expect that United is already in them.

Seems like all TPAC are busier than usual.
The loss of so much nonstop China capacity has pushed a lot of traffic elsewhere, like Japan, TPE, ICN, HKG, which will continue to be the case as traffic grows off pandemic lows.
