If Paramount takes Star Trek in another direction, then "the burn" (introduced in STD) will be ignored completely.
Secret Hideout (the production company) is co-owner of all of the new Star Trek. To make shows that even reference that material means that Secret Hideout must be involved.
Rumors are that Star Trek Academy is such an unwatchable flop, with such a shocking price-tag (more than $10 Million an episode) that Kurtzman and Secret Hideout are fired. Paramount is in so much debt, then can't afford to spend ten million an episode to destroy their most profitable franchise.
I suspect that going forward any new Star Trek projects will just pretend that Kurtzman Trek never happened.
I doubt that anyone cares anymore, but ... perhaps things might be less bad? This "Melrose Space" bullshit is the last straw for many.
Nothing new there, Kurtzman himself has been doing that since the intro to Star Trek movie comic that brought Data back only to then kill him offscreen in a retcon for Picard. Only to then bring him back again anyway!
Kurtzman wrote both the comic and movie, btw, it's not like different writers had different ideas Star Wars style.
Not a coincidence.
