ArcGIS API for Python as ArcPy’s successor

Are there any plans to have ArcGIS API for Python work for advanced geoprocessing for offline layers? There are many functionalities arcpy still has that the API hasn’t developed yet. The API serves as a spiritual successor to arcpy, but functionally, handles different layers and has different methods.

I keep getting emails about this, so I'll answer my own question. While the ArcGIS API for Python is continually being developed, it is limited in the type of geoprocessing tools it supports for ArcGIS Online layers. The best way to handle this is to use the ArcGIS API for Python to programatically export an online layer--that is, a hosted feature service layer--to a file geodatabase, run geoprocessing tools on it via arcpy offline, then re-upload the layer.
