Well, I didn’t realize that judges could become obsolete. Seems a little unfair to do this for gymnastics and not baseball, basketball, hockey, wrestling, football...yes they have instant replay, but not technology running and refereeing the entire game.
I think most of those sports would be happy to have AI assistance with split second judgement calls, such as "did a ball cross a line" or "did a player make contact", and let the officials focus on the subjective calls like "did the player have a clear path". Especially if it helps with the flow of the sport. In tennis they do use an AI/replay combo but still have a head referee.

For gymnastics if an AI can measure and score the lines and angles then lets the judging score the artistry it seems like a move in the right direction.
