Given how hard it is to agree on a minor and obviously beneficial block size increase to 8 or 20MB, I doubt such a large and destructive change to increase 21M cap can have any chance to happen. Ever.

Why wouldn't miners support an increase in cap? If they can keep mining 25 coins instead of 12.5, ofcourse they are in! Price won't be cut in half, so they win out..
