I think there is room for hope...
Having watched that, I can't say I share your optimism, I may even be less optimistic than before I watched it
Buur talks about how dangerous just the environment of Thargoid held space is, even before you have the inhabitants to contend with.
He also talks about the 'end of the Thargoid war' very much as if that will be the definitive end of 'Thargoid stuff', of which I am not convinced.
Then he goes on to say maybe the Python 2 (and perhaps by extension, the other 'new' ships. too - my speculation) maybe incorporate recovered Thargoid tech.
Then later he talks about FDev talking about 'new exploration gameplay opportunities' coming later in the year.
Now, this next bit is all speculation on my part - it should be taken with a healthy hat of tinfoil, and as many anti-space madness meds as you can cram in your cargo hold!

So, stringing all that together, what if...
After the Titans are destroyed/driven off (in a couple or three months or so, it looks at the current rate), the Thargoid War 'ends' - the 'goids retreat from the bubble.
But - new exploration! The Permit locked system long rumoured to be 'goid 'homeworlds/region' are now unlocked.
And several manufacturers produce new ships that can opperate in Thargoid space without, or with reduced need for, the prophylactic anti-caustic etc modules, so those CMDR's that want to can pursue the Thargoids and pew-pew them on their home turf.
This leaves the bubble clear of significant 'goid activity to pave the way for PP 2.0 without all that messy corrosive goop getting in the way of humans second favourite sport - political infighting!

I re-iterate that everything between the dashed lines is purest tinfoil space madness cooked up by me, all by myself, in the last 10 minutes. Believe any of it at your own detriment!
No warranty is implied or guaranteed! May contain absolute nonsense, pure speculation, unfavourable outcomes and utter tosh!
A point against all that guff up there is the already declared PVP focus of the Python 2.
I hope I'm wildly off base with these ravings, but at the moment, I'm struggling to see past it
