Saying "never" is too bold. But it's definitely getting immensely difficult.

There are still plenty of other flaws besides memory unsafety to exploit. I doubt that we'll see like a formally proven mainstream OS for a long time.

True. But if developing an exploit takes 15 years and the average life of the device is five then to some degree that is effectively perfect.

Those flaws get harder the more restricted devices are.

Depends. If "restriction" means "complexity" then you may end up with scenarios like the BlastDoor vulns (eg. FORCEDENTRY).
