Remember "I'm pretty used to people digging their toes in and not wanting to admit their knowledge isn't as complete as they thought"? No? Eh, that's alright.

Do you think Gon will ever get his Nen back? I don't have time for someone years younger than me to lecture me about my own life in an attempt to bait me. I'm used to it and I won't deal with it if I don't have to. And I don't have to, imagine that.

As for Gon, I think we've got sufficient evidence either way. My prediction right now is that with the introduction of the Dark Continent beings, we're looking at the standard shonen "new power system being introduced" moment like how JJBA swapped out Hamon for Stands, but whether this means Gon will forgo regaining his Nen in favor of a new system I can't say. Based on Ging's statement it'll be difficult but not impossible for Gon to get it back, and Nanika exited stage left with Killua so she's not going to be a Deus Ex Machina again to fix things.

There's some evidence at this point to suggest Gon isn't 100% human, the one that sticks out most in my head being Meleoron's reasoning for approaching him. So if anyone's going to be able to use DC being powers, I'd think it would be Shonen Protagonist Gon Freecss (and likely Ging as well). YYH has that precedent with Yusuke's ancestry, so I wouldn't be shocked to find out the Freecss family has some nonhumans around in the family tree.

Ideally I'd think that something Gon does with this hypothetical new power system would allow him to get his Nen back and so he'd end up using them in conjuction. But the idea of a new power system does assume that HxH is going to follow a shonen convention, which is not something I'd ever bet on. So I guess my answer is "unclear, ask again later", because while I have enough info to make an educated guess that doesn't mean diddly because Togashi throws convention out the window all the time.
