I think there is still place for this type of coding where you autocomplete predictable chunks and review it as you go.
But I haven't seen much development in this space. Are there any notable models optimized for this task or full/semi-autonomous coding has taken over?

macOS ships an optional autocomplete model with Xcode, but I have no idea if it's actively worked on in any way

Personally I haven't opened an IDE in 6 months.

I disabled tab completion. When I open a file in an IDE, it is because I don’t want an AI edit; I’m fixing the confusing documentation, or changing a configuration, or making a small edit to the code. I do code changes through the agent, because it is more accurate and thorough.
I don’t think that I would use tab completions again. I bet that there will be some innovation in how code is visualized, though.

Much like other uses of LLM, it never worked right, and everyone went back to the original, working, way of doing it.
You do not, and never did, need AI for tab complete.
