New Short Treks ???

What about “Captain Sulu series”?
It's good for a joke (the old "Worf is always right/shoot first, ask questions later" routine), but beyond that, I don't really see the appeal. It might be good to catch up with Worf, and see what evil things he's been up to the last 20 years.
My right eye twitches.
That could easily be done in an episode of Picard. I don’t have an issue in the slightest catching up with Worf but between TUC, TNG, GEN-NEM and DS9, I don’t need a Michael Dorn-led series. I’m Worf-Ed on a regular basis out.
There will never be a Captain Worf or Captain Sulu series (and Takei ain't coming back to Star Trek ever.) They are simply not popular enough characters to warrant having an entire series set around them.
As for Short Treks, even if they make more, they will only be utilizing sets from the shows currently in production. They're not going to make a 15 minute short about what happened on Deep Space Nine after season 7 ended, etc.

They're not strictly necessary, but I thought they provided a place to both flesh out little things from a series like the DOT-7's or try out experimental concepts like Zora. It would be nice if they have the chance to continue to create more of them where it makes sense.
Probably. But with the overuse of AR screens or whatever, a lot more possibilities have opened up. But I don't expect a DS9 update (or update on any old series), unless it ties into a future season of Picard or something.
They can make short cartoons about what happened next on DS9! They just need a reason to want to.
Well remember they were originally designed to be very cost effective to produce by using existing sets and a lot of the extras from various episodes of a given season. The COVID-19 production protocols have made just bringing a group together to do any production a major undertaking in both time and cost. So yeah until the COVID-19 virus becomes endemic and is no longer pandemic; I don't think we'll see any further short treks produced, and that's sad.
I think the Short Treks have outlived their purpose. Namely, content to keep Star Trek subscribers interested during the long wait in between seasons of Star Trek Discovery. That's not a factor anymore.
This or even random 45 minute stories if that is all that is needed. Short Treks were about using resources wisely to create more content now that they have 3 shows in production rotation, they have more resources available when any show is taking a break and could do much more than a 10 minute minisode.
