enough people are still immune, i suspect chickenpox will make a big comeback, since the vaccine also doesnt entirely protect against it either, there have been people getting shingles while vaccinated later in life, so they got reinfected at some point. chickenpox is also pretty severe in adults, in men it can cause orchitis.
