Thanks Juan, my gut feeling tells me too we'll run into some limitations... I'd love to get some more tangible advice here, also around future / modern investments in the feature. Will Content Organizer still be a valid component to use for the foreseeable future and also will the be a Modern Experience for it soon.

VesaJuvonen would you be able to share your thoughts here?

  I can't really confirm or deny future of the content organizer at this point, but SharePoint engineering is starting to move forward now with the modernization of these DM features. Now that baseline with modern team sites and communication sites have been established, we can start modernizing other capabilities. What that means exactly for content organizer is something which we can't unfortunately really explicitly call out at this point.

    Any clarification on the future of the Content Organiser? It is something my users really like, so I want to know how "future proof" solutions are that we are implementing now on Sharepoint Online using that feature
    
    Thanks
