I have a hunch that he'll remain in a wheelchair if only to get the most out of the unique asset that they created for him. Not that it'll ever stop him from being pushed halfway across Eorzea if needed to show up at a meeting to say his piece whenever he next makes a cameo. It's just a shame that he was tied so heavily to Fordola - they would have worked incredibly well as an active duo but now Fordola is essentially held back by Arenvald's injury even though she's already proven herself trustworthy enough to go and fight alongside the player character if she so wished.

With that said, Arenvald was apparently the inspiration behind Alphinaud deciding to become a Sage. Maybe that was because the original plan was for Arenvald to die in the finale of Shadowbringers, though.
