How certain are the 2390s-2420s uniforms?

Most likely. At this point, it depends on whether that rumoured TNG reunion takes place during this time period, and if they use these uniforms or not. Which, to be hones, they probably won't.
But at the moment, yeah, the uniforms are used in three alternate futures, plus the comm badge design is also featured in Timeless, so it might as well count as the "proper" future.

Those uniforms are ugly af, if the Next Gen reunion Trek series uses them I'dd be shocked. Keep in mind it's being made by the same people who have reimagined everything in Trek from ships to uniforms to aliens.
Voyager's EMH in particular looked like a weak Captain Robau cosplay.

There's no way in hell they'd ever use those uniforms again. They looked extremely cheap, because they probably didn't have the budget to make anything better just for a few scenes, and they looked like a 90 year old man designed them, what with the pants coming right up to the armpits.
If the film Her (2013) is right high-waisted pants are the future.
I'm hoping they will use the initial uniform design from Star Trek Online, which depicts the events taking place 30 years after Nemesis (the same uniforms were also worn by the Enterprise-E crew in the comic Star Trek Countdown, which explains the backstory to the 2009 film). Neither are technically canon, but they are a heck of a lot better than the All Good Things uniforms. Otherwise, they should just stick with the TNG Movie/Late DS9 uniforms. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 
Captain Picard designed the uniforms?
They are 100% fixed, unless they do a series in that time period, in which case they are 100% gone.
Most of the examples where we saw those uniforms being used were alternate timelines.
Comm-badges are more or less fine, but they should really do away with them too because such technology would need to be embedded into the wardrobe on a molecular level that's made of superior synthetic materials that also host tricorder functions, and a multitude of others.
A lot of these technologies could also be implanted into their bodies... at least SF officers who decide to use this approach.
Given that those alternate timelines will no longer occur, Trek has the option to re-imagine the SF uniforms as well as civilian attire in a much different capacity.
I have to admit that when I saw DS9 and Voy, some of the civilian clothing was just...uninteresting.

I really have no interest in such extremes of futurism.
Hardly anything extreme about it.
Humans are already incorporating technologies into their bodies to help compensate with various issues from birth for example.
Besides, we've seen SF officers being taken into custody on too many occasions with their comm-badges and most technology taken away.
By having molecular based technology (which can easily be implemented in Trek in virtually any time frame), you minimize the risk to the away team for example, and enhance their ability to analyse the situation with better tools.
Archaic notions of keeping technology away (especially in Trek) are quite frankly ludicrous.
It would still be up to the individual if they want technology embedded into their body... but when it comes to their clothing.... that should have been standard issue by NX-01 era to be honest (actually, even by then it would have been more or less outdated).
