No algorithm can recover an unknown signal buried in random noise. That is a simple scientific fact. Whatever detail you don't see being destructed is invented. So yeah, noise will always be an issue for people who care about a faithful rendering.
Said another way, noise does destroy detail. If a file doesn't lose detail when noise is removed that is because the post-processing is inventing new detail. AI might do a good job of inventing detail and I think a reasonable person could be ok with this invention of detail, but I am not. Of course, YMMV dcisive.
