Post game improving, shooting improving, passing will always be there, and still no foreseeable serious rival at his position. I'm a hater, but he'll be more than allright.

Seriously, Bron concentrating on playing in the post might even be more effective than playing (mostly) on the perimeter.

He's still relying on size & speed in the post, after injury or age, what will be his go to?

Nah I think that he has what it takes to transition his game into relying more on pump-fakes, up and unders, fadeaways, baby hooks and all of that. And he's got the bulk and the mid-range jumper to play pick and roll/pop à la Mailman if paired with a good PG.

Look at how for example Larry Johnson changed his game, MJ, Kobe. Kemp in Cleveland. Hell even Stoudemire FINALLY got some nice little post moves. Lebron's more than able to do that too IMO, and he's not often praised for his BBIQ but I think he's shown will to better his game each year.

Two possibilities that are sort of similar.

Lebron could be 40 years old and he'd still be as athletic as 1990s Magic...who was good enough to lead a team to the Finals.

I think if he's smart though, he takes a role pretty much like the one that Draymond Green has on offense, but his passing and scoring skills are both well above Green's so he'd do it better. Be the forward that the ball rotates around in an offense with a lot of passing, without him having to drive on every possession, and he could easily rack up 20-12-8 numbers in his late 30s without having to expend a ton of energy on that end.
