The 2038 issue isn't going to be a problem with "modern" computers (at that time), but with legacy computers and legacy software. People hadn't been using 2 decimal digits to represent the year in most computer software for years before the Y2K scare, but there were still business and banks running on old software.
It may also create some minor annoyances for retro PC gaming.
