I agree but I think they just "upgraded" that story to MSQ. Not that it actually means something leading to Dawntrail or the future, rather that it sort of ties in some questions we had about the Void for a while, and it allowed some updates about the world after 6.0, how Thavnair and Garlemald move on.

They didn't want Endwalker to "end" in 6.3 which is the traditional way they write MSQ, so I just think they went with that instead of writing more about Endwalker and adding to a story that was already quite massive.
