Can Magnus reach 2900?
Now, Magnus may reach 2900 some time in the next few years if he can keep up his current good form, but other top players aren’t even close. Unless Magnus can do it, there will probably need to be further rating inflation until someone does. He is about as dominant as a world number one can be.
Is FIDE 3000 possible?
There will have to be many more 2700+ and 2800+ players, with at least a handful of 2900+ players staying at that level long enough to give one of them a shot at earning those final rating points to get to 3000. It may take another 50 years, give or take, but 3000 will almost certainly be achieved eventually.
