With the impending release of this despecialized 2.1 edition Blu-ray upon us on the horizon, where does SW look like it will go from here as far as how this restoration process is now classified? Would this be considered the definitive outcome of all the time put into this or is there still work to be done with any existing imperfections/compromises preventing what would otherwise recognize Harmy's achievement in preserving the original SW?

I think I already said this but here goes:

The BD release will be definitive for this version. It is possible that if (or rather when) some better sources of the original appear, there may be another version sometime way down the line, starting from scratch in 1080p.
