Sadly looks like inscriptions will win by a large margin

Sad but true - most simple and understandable solutions win

my pleb PoV: I understand what RGB wants to do at a high level, but they have zero docs, and it looks like the protocol isn't even really finished and has ambitious that are waaaay too grand (they want to be the World Computer)
the protocol-formerly-known-as-taro seems a lot simpler, has a team with a good track record of shipping, and already has the makings of a proper API (just glancing): https://lightning.engineering/api-docs/api/taproot-assets/

sure it exists, but it's all very high level, look at this: https://www.rgbfaq.com/rgb-smart-contracts/how-does-one-program-rgb-smart-contracts or this https://blackpaper.rgb.tech/consensus-layer/5.-contracts-state-and-operations/5.4.-contract-validation
compared to this: https://github.com/Roasbeef/bips/blob/bip-tap/bip-tap.mediawiki
one looks like design sketches, the other looks like a specification

One has a tract record of shipping code that manages hundreds of millions of dollars, collaborating with protocol developers, and focusing on providing application devs the support they need for over half a decade.
My bet is on them.

and Bisq are working on RGB integration yesterday! https://twitter.com/bisq_network/status/1658381775863685121 This is the news!
Open source and decentralisation obviously win. RGB can't be sued!

All these protocols are layer 2 solutions and Bitcoin blockchain is just a storage layer for them, so I guess that all of them (and maybe something else) will be present in some proportion.

The question I'd ask is how many stablecoins do we need, why is it more than 1 and if it's 1, then why do we need whole framework, protocol and node impl for this?

I thought RGB was more generalized than Taro (btw I don't think they're named this anymore)

Both.
In the end of day market will decide what's "better" protocol.
