If a remake ever exists someday, all of this hard work will be kinda wasted.
I wouldn't say that. I mean, if there was a remaster that's "faithful to the original" with some changes (for example,
Conkers Bad fur Day and
Conker: Live & Reloaded) then BetterSADX would be more like a fix as well as a passion-project of the original Sonic Adventure game for PC that coulda,woulda shoulda.
If we get a remake of Sonic Adventure, well it depends how different and expanded the game will be in comparison to the original (for example,
Final Fantasy VII and
Final Fantasy VII Remake) then BetterSADX would be more like both a homage as well as how Sonic Adventure was regarded to the fans before the remake.
That said, I don't think BetterSADX would be wasted effort either way, it was made with more love than whoever Sega put in charge porting the game to Pc in the first place.
More characters to play with their unique moves. Always playing as Sonic or buddy got me bored.
What we want : "Sonic in space"
What we got : "Chao in Space"
We at least got Chao in Space eventually.
And mods will probably be a matter of time. (I mena, have you seen the
Super Mario 64 mod for Garry's Mod and
Half-Life 2?)

Super Mario 64 in a FPS game like
Half-Life 2, putting Sonic in System Shock may not be al that impossible.
