USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

That's not a data card. That's the new "jettison pod" button.
The Discovery and Shenzhou's chairs fit with the TOS Style IMO, they're just as blocky 
They don't look look super comfy like the TNG era chairs.
I fully expect that the final shot, or one of the final shots of the Season will be Pike in the Enterprise's captain's chair saying 'hit it'.

Heck, Archer's captain's chair was more streamlined than any we've seen on either DSC or TOS. I'll give the new series this much: it definitely embraces the throwback chair theme.
Wasn't there a Tweet-Pic from one of the Directors or Producers awhile back that showed some green-screen and a comment to the effect that he was standing just off to the side of Their version of TOS Bridge?
I would imagine that it'll be another "RELICS" type of deal.

Not even kidding, I'd watch a Pike spinoff.
As for "Charon" they're ripping out the entire holographic system on the Enterprise to combat the mysterious system failures, which Pike didn't like anyway because they "look like ghosts". So they're setting up the USS Enterprise to be anachronistically old fashioned in a universe of ultra-high-tech ships.
This is a really cringe-worthy attempt at reconciling continuity, and fails immediately since we've seen countless other starships in TOS, TAS, the TOS movies, Next Gen, DS9 and Voyager, only two of which had similar holographic systems (the Defiant and the Prometheus)

We haven’t been given the whole story yet. Patience. Wait until it’s over.
Pike said his engineer had warned him the comm system was vulnerable. Maybe it will spread to the rest of the fleet.
That's what some narrow circle of fans who stubbornly don't understand the visual reboot concept want, so if they want to imagine it that way, let it be like that. For the rest, these dialogues could be ignored and Enterprise does not differ from the rest of the fleet.
I must now refer you to @The Mighty Monkey of Mim and their post in "What Has Discovery Added to the Lore?" thread.
Now, I get it that this is a huge YMMV place for fans, and I don't think it will resolve it. But, in this particular instance, the devil is in the details of how holographic tech has been implemented throughout Trek.
Both of which are examples from at least 100 years in the future of this show.
Why is it so difficult to reconcile that this particular Trek-Tech became a problem and was put into disuse until the bugs could be worked out of it, when we've seen so many other fantastical things used only once and then forgotten?
The Genesis Device.
I rest my case.

So like BSG, they institute a fleet-wide tech downgrade? That's ripping off the ENT novel (ripping off a rip off) Kobayashi Maru.
There is no "visual reboot concept". It's something fans came up with to try and reconcile a TV show the producers aren't really trying to. There are no mentions of a visual reboot from The Powers That Be.
Wall of text. I'll get to that
For a whole century? And what bugs, it's worked perfectly for YEARS in-universe.
It does have pictures.Wall of text. I'll get to that
The thing about Star Trek tech is it can be extremely static. So, yeah, 100 years doesn't seem all that outside the realm of possibility with some of the attitudes presented on screen.
Ah, but when the same producers attempt to state it fits in line with known canon and continuity they are liars?
I don’t see the issue here.
Well it could be connected to something, which is then connected to something else, cascades from there.
