Yes, Neopan Acros 100 is the last emulsion in Fujifilmʻs conventional B&W film line.
Although itʻs preferable that there is competition and more choices as a film photographer, most extinctions seem to leave a void that is filled by something else. When Kodak ruled, the original Ilford company struggled. When Kodak started to eliminate their B&W papers and films like Pan-X, Plus-X, and their C41 Black & White, that reinvigorated sales for Ilford equivalents like Pan-F, FP4+, and XP2+.
Since the departure of Kodachrome, Fujifilm Velvia has been the closest equivalent and I hope they donʻt shut that down too. Provia and Ektachrome are alright, but is missing the WOW factor (if thatʻs what you need from the original).
