These frameworks have existed for decades side-by-side with NATO too, including during the Cold War. The Western European Union for example, which has since been rendered obsolete and folded wholesale into the European Union - and, as a side effect, also brought its mutual defense clause - more encompassing than NATO's - to expand to all EU members.
Within the current drive - mostly due to Brexit and the sudden freedom from British vetos on such - there are moves towards giving the EU more of a capability set that duplicates NATO structures; frameworks within which we can do things we currently operate within NATO for. We're actively moving towards that too; not just within the EU, but - see above on "vetos" - also in a bilateral or multilateral fashion, and we're not the only ones locally. With a certain impetus to that, and a continuation and perhaps worsening of current US policy, i could see NATO becoming increasingly redundant indeed. Not right now. Perhaps in a decade.
