So how does this work? Should there be an expectation that they will eventually come back in stock, or is the cpu discontinued and I should start looking at other options?
And likewise, for older GPU's that are out of stock?

With the 3600/3600X being discontinued, your only option is to buy them second hand. They'll probably slowly make their way to the used market as 5600X orders get fulfilled.
If you're looking to build something now, I'd recommend the i5-10400F. Much cheaper than the 3600/3600X and performance is pretty much on par with Intel being better for gaming and AMD better for productivity.
If you want to upgrade down the road, both have a similar roadmap with more one generation of support.
