As we mortal humans can create increasingly sound explanations for the
workings of the universe without having to appeal to the existence of a
God for those sound explanations, then doesn't God (even if God exists!)
become increasingly not necessary?

What is the use of a God which is not necessary?  Why should one
believe in an unnecessary God?  Why should one worship an
unnecessary God?
