He's told us he's going to revamp in 7.0.

He has shown adjustments with the timers recently.
You do realize ACT and FFlogs have been existed and been known to Yoshida since their inception over eight years ago? Guess what they did about them? Precisely nothing because they literally can't without scanning your PC.

All of those add-ons I mentioned have hundreds of thousands of downloads nowadays. The sheer amount of money Square Enix will lose in a hypothetical scenario where they did manage to break them would be enormous. People will unsubscribe if mods, ACT and the like go away.

Yoshida has said no such thing about a revamp in 7.0. They're simply doing a graphical overhaul which they've already shown off. Nothing will change regarding add-ons and third party tools. They'll remain exactly as they have for years now: keep them to yourself. If your "adjustment with timers" is in reference to buff timers. That was added right after it became public with Dragonsong. Like I said, it isn't a good look for the dev team when a featured requested for years gets implemented only after a third party program does it and the users make it public.
