So what beef do the Ascians have with Bahumut?

Apart from having zero control if he ever got unleashed again?
If they control Ishgard and alex is involved it would give them some control over alex,
Where with bahamut he would hold no allegiance and wouldn't care less if it's Ascians or lalafell

We do know the Holy See of Ishgard is under Ascian manipulation. How the Ascians view Bahamut we don't know as they don't seem to have any involvement in the coil storyline. TBH, I don't think the main scenario going onwards and CT/Coil will intertwine due to main scenarion being new and coil and CT pretty much closing the story of the nature af the calamaty from 1.x. So I'm not expecting any kind of closure to those to bleed into other things.

Actually CT and Coil do tie into the Main Scenario a bit but only as Side-story Prologues to a future Main Scenario plot.

CT focus on revealing what lead to the destruction of the Allagan Civilization and what purpose of Dalamud creation thus gaining knowledge on why the Coils were created.

This ties into....

Coil focusing on Bahamut where the Warrior of Light and Alisaie tries to stop Bahamut from returning.

Now bring these together, these events serve as prelude to Bahamut's awakening. Once he is awakened there is 2 possible path the story can take from here being

1) The story become tied into ther Main Scenario focusing on Eorzea finding a way to stop Bahamut for good and ultimately defeating him using the knowledge gained from what they can salvage in the CT.

or

2) This leads to a new 8 member Endgame dungeon to replace Coil in 3.0 era, leading players through challenges and ending with a final battle with Bahamut.
