So, would it be possible for some to even envision drone warfare and how would it evolve, till the EMP would shut them down?

And would a comeback later possible?

We also had the TOW and HOT missiles among others, so some drone control was already there.
I could envision the same kind of drones used for spotting/Artillery observation such as those used in the First Gulf War-large, relatively clunky and were famously caught in a net when their mission was over.
By the time of the Twilight War, the drones might be a little smaller but still used for observation and spotting primarily. Then following the widespread use of tactical and strategic nuclear weapons they would become progressively rarer.
