The question seems malformed to me.
Text classification, clustering, named entity recognition, etc. are NLP tasks. LLMs can perform these tasks. ML models that are not LLMs (or even not deep learning models) can also perform these tasks. Is the author perhaps asking if the concept of a "completion" has replaced all of these tasks?
When I hear "traditional NLP" I think not of the above types of tasks but rather the methodology employed for performing them. For example, building a pipeline to do stemming/lemmatization, part of speech tagging, coreference resolution, etc. before the text gets fed to a classifier model. This was SOTA 10 years ago but I don't think many people are still doing it today.
