I don't think there will be an explicit "ban on e2ee". That I would almost fear less than what I think is on the table now: a targeted way to add cert backdoors just to the top 10-or-so products and browsers. Generally worded of course, but only enforced on the big players. So that 99.9% of users and messages are compromised but no one really has to worry about the rest. It's a good enough improvement and no one cares whether the people they actually talk about catching are using secure services like they have been all along.
