If there's enough distaste for it such that it would be political suicide to attempt a CBDC, then we might skip it.
But I'm not convinced we are there yet. There's still an abundace of deep-seated fuckery going on in the USG.
Sometimes adoption of totalitarian policies are not skipped but rather delayed until there's a better climate for it.
If a CBDC gets skipped this time around, and Bitcoin becomes well entrenched, then there's a much better chance that a CBDC won't happen at all.
But it really depends on how much of this totalitarian bullshit US citizens are able to squash out of existence.
