Honestly I'm super excited for this. An important detail of note is that Studio Khara will be responsible for selling off and distributing IP to interested parties. Realistically most of these properties will go to Khara themself, Trigger, and studios like SHAFT that worked closely with gainax in the early days. So if anything this is how many of those beloved projects will get out from under Gainax's death grip and get something new other than a pachinko machine.

Well, their biggest success is pretty much done to death now. NGE has had a series, multiple OVAs, multiple movies, multiple revamp movies... there's really not much else to get out of it unless you want to tell the story of how they got into that mess to begin with, which might be the most interesting part of all of this to its core fanbase given their age. Maybe tell the story of the project up until Shinji's mom dies or something.

  There's all kinds of fun things that could be done with the franchise. An isekai where an Otaku gets reborn as Shinji and tries to do it right would be great.

  I mean the plan with Eva according to Anno is to do like what Gundam does. i.e. you have you main timeline (Universal Century) with focuses on different groups on opposing sides of the conflict during different periods. But then you have your many other offshoot series (00, IBO, GWitch, SEED, Turn A, etc) that are free of the main established canon while keeping the same core elements to the series.

They announced that, but all major IPs they had were already transferred to Khara and Trigger a couple years ago (that's why the TTGL movies reappeared in cinema a couple years ago). It's likely just some of the older/less popular stuff that's not easy to assign owners to that will need to be redistributed.
