I think that Team Rocket aka the TRio fill a role of an opposing force that isn't like a rival
As you do at times need to remind the characters or the viewers that bad stuff and people are still out there
And have to give certain type of episodes that bad guy or person/group to root against
And for the characters of Jessie James and Meowth
I think they kinda know what to do for them in general
Jessie where whenever there's elements related to performing, etc she's good at that role
Meowth fills the necessary translator for the Pokemon and gives the Pokemon a foil
James is similar to Jesse and Meowth where he can fill certain roles usually more on the sympathetic/empathetic side
Now have they stayed too long
kinda
As we seen with Butch and Cassidy recently they could retire and follow their non-Pokemon stealing passions as we know they all have them
But they also have been there so long that it'll be weird for someone to fill their shoes
Like if after OS we had a similar duo/trio with Team Aqua and Magma fill their role in AG then it'll make more sense as we would be rotating them out like how we rotate companions and rivals
I think Journeys format doesn't benefit them as one it would be weird if they happen to go from Kanto to Galar to Hoenn as Ash and Goh do
But I know there were plenty of fillers where their presence could have been there even needed in some cases
And I think it's harder to catch JN Ash and Goh off guard in this format too for some reason
So I think as someone who has been seeing them do the same thing over and over again for year's I'm kinda tired of them
But I know their role has a use and I understand why there here
As I think after OS the best amount of them was SM imo where they weren't there every episode but not as vacant as JN
So their value isn't expired just need to be smarter on when and how to use them
