Will it ever be possible to travel to Pluto in a matter on months instead of years?
yes and no

What do you mean?
I think it's possible with modern technology, might take 15-20 years to get there though at our current speed. That would be a long cold ride probably leave that to the Russians they seem to like chilling in space for long periods of time
We could get there, but not in months with our current technology

Would take a couple decades as previously said. But I don't see any point in a manned expedition to Pluto. Mars is a good candidate for the sole purpose that it's more feasible/easier to garner public support.
Yes but nobody wants to spend the money to actually use the engines that will get us there.

One-way flyby? Yes.
Going and stopping there?
Maybe 2 years. Depents on the budget tbqh.

Just accelerate up to Uranus orbit at 20 AU and then decelerate the remaining 20 AU until Pluto.
Maybe 30/10 or something since you initially need to move all the fuel you need at a later point of the journey

EM Drive baby.
Easily
It's just a matter of purpose of doing it, and lifting the tonnage for the ship out into space
