I wouldn’t say never. We have no idea where she will be during the timeskip.But the very fact that she will never receive screentime is pretty much crapping on all her potential, no? The anime might give her little screentime but the manga so far didn't even focus on her for once( outside of the Boruto Movie arc.).
The most serious discussion involving Himawari was when they visited the Hyuga household and it was mentioned she awakened the Byakugan while so young albeit that one time.
Unfortunately they haven’t touched anymore on this at the present. Now that Boruto’s group are Genin, the next group of acedemy students may feature Himawari in the roster. For this however something will need to happen that hits close to home. Possibly her mom being hurt by Momo will give her the desire to want to protect her family.
If she does become an academy student, then the hype and potential might be realized...which would be awesome, but I wouldn’t expect her to overshadow Boruto as the focus is mainly on him.
Right now she is just a happy go lucky kid with no real desire to be a ninja.
