It would need to become immensely strong to do that though - so much so that your query ("Would there be any black holes remaining in that far distant time?") would essentially become moot, as the forces that bind electron and nucleons together utterly overwhelm the estimated expansion "force" and gravity now; thus, if it did somehow change to become significantly larger, all known nuclear and electromagnetic processes would cease....

I read what you said to mean that with no interactions, there could be no processes. Yet as I was wandering the web, trying to answer my own question, I came across a few papers suggesting that a big rip Universe might become incredibly strange towards the end, with a surprising possible role for black holes at a point well before processes cease.

(I do note that the authors acknowledge that more rigorous study is needed.)

As usual (since I was a kid) I wander around all big-eyed, asking questions!
