FYI: @senjudiciary generally waits at least 28 days from the date of nominations until a hearing is held.
In the 30 hearings last Congress, member attendance was sparse.
It generally takes at least another 29 days from the hearing to vote out the nominees to the Senate floor.

In other words, even if the Senate does not establish secure remote voting in committees and on the floor by then (which they should), @senjudiciary and the full Senate would not hold votes (committee markup, cloture, and confirmation) on these nominations for at least 57 days.
