What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

And that's a good question, assuming the Scions won't be with us (except for maybe G'raha?) maybe our Trust squads will be made up of those generic NPCs they were talking about for the lower level MSQ dungeons?

Honestly, that's what I was thinking reading this. I actually think it would be pretty cool and "adventure-like" if in following dungeons we were just with other "random travelers" to get us back to those roots. Like if everyone is off doing there own thing, we get word of something somewhere and go investigate, and bump into some other random adventurers to do the next dungeon. It would do it well to scale down both our character and the story for a bit before the next big thing. Have us go back to "The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak"(one of the few dungeons without a hard mode) with some completely random travelers on word of a void-woken residing within and a wealthy person offering a bounty for "X" reason.
