Is the removal of artificers permanent, and if so, what would you recommend be used for a replacement alchemist or inventor class?
Not sure what you mean here. Artificers have not been deleted or removed from anything.
Are you referring to the fact that the class wasn't in the 2024 Player's Handbook? It wasn't in the original 2014 Player's Handbook either, so that's not really a change.
A playtest version of an updated Artficier class intended to work with the 2024 updates was released several weeks ago. You can find it here. There has been a lot of discussion about it on this forum.
