Yes large scale use of silkworms for making silk could lead to extinction of silkworms.
But researchers have come up with solutions to avoid extinction of silkworms by developing genetically engineered silkworms.
It has been made possible to extract high quality artificial spider silk from such transgenic silkworms.
As now it is possible to commercially viable artificial spider silks, theses genetically engineered silkworms can help large scale production of silk economically, thereby solving the problem of extinction of silkworms.
