With the latest videos out showing Merkava tanks being taken out so easily in Israel and all of the modern tanks in the Ukraine being wiped out have we reached the end of the manned main battle tank as we know it? Any thoughts?

No.

Nothing on the modern battlefield can compare to the protected direct fire support that a tank provides.
The main issue is that armoured warfare hasn't caught up just yet to current developments.

This isn't the first "death of the tank" and it won't be the last.

And here’s me thinking I had to sell all my models and replace them with the overwhelming presence of an assortment of ATGMs

I feel that the tank is under pressure currently due to the stagnation of tactics and employment rather than becoming obsolete, this last decade has seen an unfortunate upswing in the necessity to use tanks and I reckon the smart minds are learning that looking after them is now harder than it was.
Time will tell

When you think of drones in the air nowadays being controlled from remote countries and even ships being sunk by drone boats surely it is only a matter of time before we see a drone on the battlefield? Possibly a fast wheeled vehicle, cheap and fast to produce, packed with explosives and driven remotely into a concentration of the enemy. I'm sure all possibilities are currently being evaluated.
