They've already used the Filmation style in small bits, but mostly in static photos of Kirk, Spock, and a TAS version of Gary Mitchell.
TAS Thougths!

"Those Interphase photo filters always made people look weird."
I don't like how the ship's nacelles appear on screen in the remastered shows! They weren't seen originally so why add them now? Plus I never liked how they butchered the beautiful Klingon ship in Elaan of Troyius. It is a sacrilege!
The odd change of uniform colour on TAS also was very annoying. All they needed was someone to make a check...

Whichever they did, I'm sure they'd make it awesome. I can totally envision TAS Animation Boimler reacting to something with the classic ultra-closeup hand over mouth shot. Or a scene from TAS playing out with the LDS art style as the Lower Deckers sneak around in the background.
Now that would be perfect: "i didn't know the shuttlebay in the old Connie was this large...it doesn't go with the 947-" SLAP!
"The classical music just scared me!"
Naaaah. I tried Lower Decks when it premiered. Not my thing.
Are any of the new Star Trek series available?
What I've seen of Discovery and other contemporary shows hasn't been worth subscribing to pay services.

Wait until the season is over and then you can subscribe for a month, binge the series, then unsubscribe. Do it during the summer break and you can catch up on all the new series that way. Just a suggestion.
The new Star Trek: Prodigy is going to be on Nickelodeon. Check local listings.
I thought I heard that DISCO was beginning to be or planned to be distributed through syndication, but I am not 100% sure. That might be an option at some point.
There are always alternatives

Eventually, it is going to be on Paramount+ first.
No they shouldn't.
Nobody ever should.
Why did they do that
Not too many things in life leave me sitting there with my mouth hanging open going "WTF?!", that episode did.
Seconded! That actually might be my favorite single episode of Streaming Trek to date. (Other candidates: "No Small Parts", "If Memory Serves")
I remain utterly shocked at just what an incredible show Lower Decks is. Certainly the best of the three Streaming Trek shows thus far, by a mile. It's (clearly) not for all tastes, but the craft of it is amazing. I expected that show to maybe be a fun cartoon, I didn't expect it to also excel at emotional character arcs, classic Trek sci-fi adventuring, serialized storytelling, exciting space battles -- plus they're also doing comedy the whole time! They do more in one 22 minute episode than Discovery will do in an entire season! It's a marvel.

Randomly, I had just happened to watch "The Infinite Vulcan" the day before "Kayshon, His Eyes Open" streamed, so the reference was fresh in my mind. That Giant Spock skeleton -- I both laughed and felt sad! Then I felt better when I thought, maybe they made a bunch more clones after all, there might be that army of giant Spock clones still out there.
And just as I was about to click post, I suddenly found myself wondering -- does the Phylosian in tactical know about dead Giant Spock, and what does she feel about it?!? Giant Spock presumably did save her entire species...

I love this episode. Leave it to Star Trek to inform children, over their Saturday morning cornflakes, that The Devil isn't a bad guy, just misunderstood, and that he just enjoys a few beers with friends.
As I recall there was inevitably a guy on Youtube citing this episode as "proof" of the satanic influence of television
TAS was my first Trek, the one that got me into TOS gradually when I was a little too young for TOS and it was a little intense for me. @GeekFilter has/had a great podcast (and book!) about it, and has been able to dig up some great stories about it.
One of my favorites is that the kid portraying young Spock in Yesteryear, all of his performance is apparently his audition tape. He didn't get a chance to re-do it, they just ran with what they had.

There are 3 (I found so far) TAS Easter eggs in “Kayshon, His Eyes Open”Seconded! That actually might be my favorite single episode of Streaming Trek to date. (Other candidates: "No Small Parts", "If Memory Serves")

The red uniform? And what's the third one?
The uniform is most likely Uhura's from TOS (though there is a TOS like ball gown behind the Valiant probe--that's a werid one!)
- Spock Two
- The shrunken city from the Terratin Incident
- A stasis box from The Slaver Weapon
Well, I think the behavior of the Vulcan kids in Yesteryear is just what Amanda described in Journey to Babel: "When you were five years old and came home stiff-lipped, anguished, because the other boys tormented you saying that you weren't really Vulcan..."
And before that, T'Pau's disdainful line, "It is said thy Vulcan blood is thin. Are thee Vulcan or are thee human?"
