Seems like a smart plan, they (US Coast Guard) are also adding additional airframes from the Navy to replace the H-65, from what I’ve read.

Slightly digressing, Maltese based Spotter Magazine put this up
Citing that the Coasties will start retiring some of their Dolphin fleet with long term plan to just have the MH-60T Jayhawk across the fleet. I did ask the magazine privately if they could provide a source or link for this news and to no avail.
I personally cannot see them limited to one airframe plus they're still in the process of finishing the converting the remaining D to Es. Also the cutters can take the MH-65 but not the MH-60T
