Yeah there really isn’t any replacement for After Effects (well I guess there is Motion, but even Apple seems to forget that exists).
I’m not super confident that Affinity will be able to do it. Feature development seems to have really, really slowed down. The gap between Adobe and Affinity has grown, rather than shrank. Yeah Affinity’s software has a lot of the same main features, but it’s like MS Word where there is a long tail of very useful features where hardly anyone uses all of them, but everyone uses a few. Affinity hasn’t even come close to integrating those kinds of features.
