This looks like only possible way, like we had 3 lifepaths but later all got converged, there is a good chance that some of the endings can be seen as canon and they later get converged.I've posted this elsewhere, but I think it bears repeating here, in regards to a continuation DLC... So spoilers below, obviously.
Some people have the thought that we can't have an Arizona DLC, because only Star is going to Arizona, and while we can all agree it's the only ending may as well be in the game for us, this does screw three of the four endings.
In the same vein, you have people calling for a crystal palace DLC, or for more work with Arasaka post devil (as Hanako promises). Because of this, people are saying you can't have a continuation DLC, because it would be far too much work, and they are right. Three separate DLCs for each ending is far too much.
The way forward is simple. The continuation DLC should not take place in Arizona, or Crystal Palace. Instead, the continuation DLC should launch differently for each ending. The first quest chain for Star, for example, would have you chasing down leads in Arizona which would then lead to location X. Likewise, the first quest-chain for Sun would have you rampaging across Crystal Palace for what Blue Eyes wants, afterwards he points you to location X as a reward. Hanako could also very easily point you in the right direction after her big job, for the more devil orientated among us.
Each ending would shape the DLC in different way: Sun likely has the backing of Afterlife, connections and Blue Eyes; Devil has fucking Arasaka backing them; and we get what we want: the Aldecaldos, Panam and, last but certainly not least, Judy.
That's how the game should proceed imo. We can all agree that the cliffhanger they present us is unsatisfying, especially at what should be a peak in the V/Judy relationship. If the story carried on or was guarenteed to carry on we would have absolutely no issues, but the fact remains that it is still possible that we don't get this mandatory DLC, which IMO would ruin the game for me. This is why this DLC is so crucial, even if we don't get any more main-game Judy content leading up to it.
Side note: As for Temperance or the "other" ending. Temperance is super tricky, because it's the only ending where Johnny is still around. I welcome CDPR to try and solve that, but between the radical change in story and requiring Keanu to significantly reprise his role, I can see it as being difficult. On the other hand, the Easy Way Out ending doesn't leave much to the imagination, as really is a non-ending.
Like you said we can end up in arizona whether we go directly or mr blue eyes would send us.
Or maybe next dlc might lead us to crystal palace whether blue eyes send us or the people who panam knew would send us to mr. Blue eyes as our case is complicated.
(Maybe CDPR will surprise us with something)

1. She cant be removed from the Star ending, even though you play as male V and get star ending, it will not be justice to send her away to generalise and converge the story. Bcos it is a peak relationship moment between jude and female v.
2. If she is in star ending, then I don't think they will create whole different branch of dlc just to accomodate female v romance with Judy's animation. She might come to help her friend male V.
They might give some extra different dialogue options for both judy and panam related romance, but for serious stuff they will be there.

P.S:- Temperance ending feels like got a closure, our friend got more stable and lost his fire that was inside him. A total personality change.
