Etherium chain is very reliable in all the current chains. Etherium 2.0 version is also going to be launched soon. Then there will be a big reduction in gas fees. At present you can see that 60 to 80 percent of the projects of Ethereum chain are working. The most. If there is one after Bitcoin it is Ethereum. That is, it is not appropriate to tell anyone about its future. Since you are working in this industry, you must know the importance of etherium. And its future will be wonderful and bright in the days to come.
I will disappoint you, but there will be no gas price reduction because sharding will be activated after the Merger. The merger will change the algorithm in the blockchain but will not significantly increase the speed of transactions in the blockchain. The next few years will be spent scaling up the blockchain and increasing the number of shards to maximize TPS.
