Probably another mistake to do this (the Rebuilds being the first mistake...). Anno is on record saying that he wants Evangelion to be like Gundam, but Eva is obviously a one and done story. You could tell postapocalyptic stories set in the aftermath, but they wouldn't uphold the Eva brand (existential crises in modernity, depressed teenagers, giant robots).
Also for someone who famously cared so much about the story that he raged at his audience for not getting it, kind of weird to move in a commercializing direction.
As far as Yoko Taro, I don't know if anything about Nier suggests he would be good at writing an Evangelion story, but Evangelion without Anno probably isn't Evangelion just like Lucas is the only one that can write real Star Wars.
Anno is the definition of washed-up. Hates his audience, hates being chained to Evangelion that he basically tried to sabotage it with Rebuild, but knows that it's the only thing keeping him relevant.

u/Adamrises needs to come back from his monthslong sabbatical. He laid some pretty acidic critiques on the Rebuilds.
