I feel the only musicians I put out of work are the ones who don't show up for rehearsals, the drunks, the egomaniacs, and all the other problem makers/starters, not even mentioning the low talent wannabes.
If there is a talented musician who can and will pull his or her own weight on any instrument that coincides with my repetoir I would welcome them in a fast moment. The more the merrier as far as I am concerned.
To me music is not just about the sound but also the working together of different personalitys and talents.
At the moment it happens to be myself, my fiance (soon to be wife), and all the people who made the styles and sounds which are available to me.
After all, aren't we helping to keep those techies and un-known musicians working also?

Enjoy your talents and abilities to entertain.
