Yeah, I just kinda feel like there's a non-zero chance it will be what if RE7, but more? And I'm not totally sure I want that? Like the shop, and the crafting, and bringing back all the baggage of Chris and Umbrella and the goddamn LORE. Like... what I liked about 7 is that the crafting was minimal, there was no shop, and unless you were looking for it, until the very end, it was entirely possible it was a soft reboot of the series, ditching the shackles of what was already 8 mainline entries of increasingly convoluted backstory (CV is a mainline entry, I will die on this hill).
