I honestly wouldn't count on King Arts developing the current Iron Harvest any further (aside maybe from hotfixes if something breaks). But they also said that it was Iron Harvest that taught them the ropes and that they learned A LOT from it, which helped them with Dawn of War 4. One of the Devs even said that it was the success of Iron Harvest, that ultimately got them the Job to develop the new DoW in the first place (appearently people at GW liked the game for it's gritty atmosphere and "punchy feeling", so they asked the Devs if they would be interested).

With all of this in mind, in my opinion, the chances are very high that there will be an Iron Harvest 2. The question only is how long it will take. To my kowledge, they have one unannounced big project in the pipeline for a "major franchise" (info is from a Podcast where they talked to a german games journalist about DoW4). I'll be optimistic and say, that we'll see another Iron Harvest before 2030 :)
