Currently, there is the idea to replace all usages of node_access in general and replace the calls by $entity->access(). See #1947880: Replace node_access() by $entity->access() for further information.

Unfortunately the patch in the referenced issue can't remove node_access yet because there are still access callback definitions in node_menu() that require node_access. So after the node_menu was improved by using the new routing system, node_access should eventually be removed.

Rewriting node_menu() is not in the scope of this issue.

node_menu() no longer uses node_access(). #1947880: Replace node_access() by $entity->access() will convert any or most remaining usages of the function.

Yes, it will, I think the latest patch already removes the function.
