  1. yeah, being able to write down libraries worth of information (which paper accomplishes better than papyrus and parchment, or clay tablets, bark, wooden slats and such) was super important for building incresingly complex knowledge over generations.

  2. I think this craft is set to continue at some small scale with no end in sight... although by that I mean handmade mulberry paper generally, not necessarily korean. there certainly is potential for crafts to die out and to later beextremely difficultto recreate when there's noone left to teach how to do it. papermaking is not very complex though. historic examples include (to a degree but often exaggerated) damascus steel, arguably cremonese violin making (stradivari and such), and the blaschka glass sculptures. you could also go back in time much further and include megalithic construction techniques.
