The story arc around them is over. I think closest we'll get to returning to the topic is if they have one of still-surviving sundered Ascians show up in the story at some point, and even if that happens its almost certain the story of the ancients wont be relevant to whatever they'll be involved in. Nobody is 'insisting' nothing wrong happened in the story itself because the story has accepted that and has simply moved on.

Horse is, in fact, deader than the ancients, and likelyhood of them ever being relevant again past the finale of Pandaemonium is close to 0, so any argument about them is, in fact, just kicking the horse further.
Not even a patch ago we had Venat's crystal turn out not just to be an Apple Tag but a magical cure for Zero, because she's just so good, her blessing will be with us forever. Then we have the Twelve's storyline, likely related to the Ancients as well. Pandaemonium, as you've said, is literally the only story I'm looking forward to, and I'm ready for it to be terrible. Let's not forget Codex entries! How's that forging ahead™ from losing your sister working out for you, Vrtra?

Or how about that Gymnasion description on the 6.3 website? Funny how only the EN version makes the Ancients sound like bored demigods while JP, FR and DE never make any mention of that, instead portraying them as excited to see more of Azem's familiar…

I, in fact, can hardly wait for Ancients to actually stop being relevant. Because any prospect of them being touched any further makes me cringe. And yet I wish this wasn't the case.
