Not sure where you are getting your info from. First of all the 321LRs aren't getting here for a few more years (2028) and when they do, they will only be concentrated out of EWR first, then the other east coast bases like IAD then ORD to replace old 757s for transatlantic flights.
The NEOs are still being planned out, but those would be transcon/HI. Right now, LAX 757 does very little HI flying, so no impact there. The 757 will shift a lot more to hub to hub flying which has already begun. The 757 fleet will be here until 2030 minimum. Only the really old ones will go. LAX and SFO 757 bases are going nowhere for a long time.

XLR? Guess they are going to have to call it the SXLR. (Somewhat extra long range)

200nm from Europe to the US is not the same as going the other way. Easy to divert in the US. Not so much in Europe. So for planning, a 200nm loss might add pretty high fuel requirements which in turn shortens the range even further. Hopefully, they’ll be able to get those miles back some day.
