I can see some of that logic. Particularly once it is in place. At that point I think the "art" of F1 suspension design from a mechanical perspective will be greatly reduced. Less people working on designing it, less people trying to work on setup at the track, etc. Less money spent.
I am excited about the technical possibilities. It would be interesting to see a modern F1 car with active suspension.
First, I am not sure if it will save costs, or if it does it will be expensive over the short term.

I'd say your first concern is justified!
Active suspension will be eye wateringly expensive!
Endless fettling and infinite improvement!
Computer controls, valves, sensors, software, processing speeds, tuning, infinite adjustability!
