Doubtful Atlas will retire very many 74s any time soon as they and the triple are great $ makers compared to low profit margin yields such as Amazon, etc. Atlas tends to run their hardware to the end before costly checks don't seem economical any further. During the viral debacle they dragged out a few mothballed ones to catch the upswing of high profitability. Atlas is very bendy or flexible if you will and definitely doesn't look forward to any upgrades unless as necessary replacements. It's not like FedEx where they have thermal imaging on some of their aircraft. We would be last on the list for any super automated system unless it was standard or was offered for free as a test bed venture is my view only.
