You don't need to cap supply to set emission in stone. People are already discussing how to amend bitcoin's emission to deal with the future lack of security when reward is dominated by tx fees.
An uncapped emission like 1 coin per second forever would be more immutable as it is simple as possible (not to mention much fairer) and leaves no uncertainty about long term security.
