A13: We stopped including cutscenes within content, so we don’t feel we need to make further changes. We think the reward for Castrum Meridianum and the Praetorium aren’t balanced enough, so we’re planning to enhance the rewards.

So pretty much, the non skip is staying as it is, they'll just up the rewards.
Personally I'd be interested in seeing the numbers for this, because the couple of times I've tried it after the first few days, the que time as a dps was within 5 minutes, even though it didn't have adventurer in need.

Said before, say again, I think the option it needs is to cut the scene, but only if everyone in the group agrees/clicks on yes.
