The revelation that the Resonant project didn't die with Aulus seems like all the more reason for it become a problem in the future, since now we have that and their Weapon business to worry about; though the former is arguably worse due to the human resources involved with Echo bearers needed to serve as a blueprint and several sacrifices required to actually carry out the process.

There's also the matter of there being another potential heir to the throne in Merna, Solus' cousin and leader of the third legion. The fact that he's been regarded as "weak" by some of his peers gives me the impression he's actually a more reasonable figure then the Garleans we're used to dealing with and understands that you don't need to use force and oppression to rule a country.
On the flip side, this also gives more fuel to Garlemald being 7.0 or further down the line. We become so focused with dealing with Zenos that the Empire gets its second wind and becomes the main problem again, but without the Ascians involvement anymore.
