I’m very much a pro TLJ person, but I like their relationship turning into a mystical dyad force.
They already had a force connection before TLJ; Snoke just opened the door for them to actually verbally communicate with it (I guess you could debate on what Snoke actually allowed them to do here, but the point is neither he or Palpy knew it was inadvertently creating a vessel for the dyad relationship to really blossom. “What Palpatine doesn’t know… is we’re a dyad in the force, Rey.”) And the abilities of their dyad are so unbelievably powerful, again, still unbeknownst to Snoke/Emperor, that they can instantly transfer items back and forth through the force itself. Kylo getting water on his face is like a foreshadowing to that, which is paid off with the lightsaber transfer at the very end.

I don’t see it as Rey was born with this ability, they just somehow latch onto each other and it creates a dyad. (Maybe through a love thing.) The dyad happens now because of their place in the story and the galaxy. Rey is still a nobody. Still works for me. Getting rid of the dyad bit in TROS belittles what the Rey-Nobody TLJ sets up. So if anything, a Rey Nobody TROS should be the one keeping the dyad, lol. At least in my eyes, I mean I dunno.

I might be grasping at some straws here, but hey.
