I don't know what you are talking about 5.2 or 5.3 though. There is no so called "5.3 Ultimate" planned at the moment. We don't know how many Ultimate-Content we will get this expension and even if there will be more we don't know when. Maybe the one now will be the only one we get.
Two confirmed, possibly 3. 5.3 is a safe bet for the next Ultimate as Weapon's Refrain came out in 4.3, and SE is delightfully consistent with content patterns.

I was able to predict Alex Ultimate because of that. Earned a couple mil in bets lol

Besides that, absolutely. Ultimate needs BiS (well, i470 is the recommended minimum at least) to tackle, and if it was released simultaneously with Savage it would be a bit of a spit show considering even world firsters can't hit i470 week 1.
