The fact that Flynn's sentencing has been delayed for the third time is one clear sign that he's not done.
19 people charged to date, guilty pleas from 3 Trump campaign or admin officials including one of the highest level WH officials, Michael Flynn. Those 3 all lied to the FBI about Russian connections. 3 companies charged. That was just in the first year of the investigation. Just for example it took the Whitewater investigation 18 month to charge anyone and that was all over a minor real estate deal in Arkansas.
This investigation involves foreign countries and high level officials (including 45) who have no incentive to cooperate.
My guess is the investigation slows a bit this fall (in a deliberate effort to not impact the mid-term elections) then gears back up after that. I'd be surprised if this could be shorter than a 2 year investigation given the scope and complexity.
