Realistically, I'm against interleague play. But we're talking about Mogul and Mogul doesn't strategize correctly. If you could list who you wanted to come off the bench in specific situations, against specific pitch types, etc... then I'd be down to keep the NL sans DH. But it's just a dice roll on who Mogul is going to call off the bench.
As for when it would come into effect, I am against it happening in 2038. I already have my bench lined up for no DH and I wouldn't be surprised if others have done the same.
Though I agree, citing continuous interleague play is not an argument for having the DH in the NL. Through interleague play, the Braves upped their DH usage from 9 to 10 games. Instead of interleague play happening for about 3 weeks in June, now it's simply spread out over the course of the season.

Public opinion already supports DH in both leagues. Owners are now starting to get vocal both ways about it. We will see it very soon. Especially with there literally being an interleague series happening at every point during the season.
