Just purchased a Revox PR-99 mkiii that has been completely redone. It’s a special version built by a gentleman in Switzerland. Not inexpensive, but meets my needs and is cosmetically perfect. Any recent updates on where to source pre-recorded tape?
Congrats on the new deck! I don't think tape has hit the proverbial wall so to speak. It's always been an extreme niche market and continues to be so. I think you'll know it's over when the specialty tape studios stop producing high quality titles in the 15ips IEC format.

Post a picture of the Revox when you get a second. I think there is a "show us your tape deck" thread somewhere around here.
