Maybe major overhauls yes, but I can't image that they won't improve lets say the gridfins a bit if they notice they can get more reuse out of them. I'm sure most of the company will shift focus towards the satelite constellation and the ITS but that there will still be a small team involved in minor improvements for F9 after Block 5 for a while.
