The Taratrus arc is so many month in the future I doubt that changing the ending now would have any impact on it.

But if keeping this ending would free the time and budget to make the light novel and omake adaptions better and make sure the original material that they talked about isn't going to suck like this arc, I'm all for keeping the current ending and investing the time, effort and money into more important things.
