Yes, in my 26th Century.
Poll Which era of Star Trek would you rather see continue?

Interesting.
The Milky Way Galaxy is a big place, and plenty of stories to tell.
Indeed.
The eras of Star Trek, IMO:
First Generation
1. 1966-1969 --> TOS
2. 1969-1979 --> Reruns, TAS (TOS was "new" to all the people discovering it in syndication)
3. 1979-1987 --> First four TOS Movies
Second Generation
4. 1987-1994 --> TNG (plus the last two TOS Movies and early-DS9)
5. 1994-1999 --> TNG Movies, DS9, and VOY (two series on TV and a new movie every two years)
6. 1999-2005 --> Late-VOY, ENT, and Nemesis (back to one series and a new movie took four years)
7. 2005-2009 --> Nothing to see here but TOS-R
Third Generation
8. 2009-2016 --> Kelvin Movies (plus Star Trek on Netflix and TNG-R)
9. 2017-Present --> Streaming Trek Series on CBSAA/Paramount+
And while we're on the subject of continuations, I think Picard Season 1 was effectively a 10-hour Prime Timeline Star Trek XI.

I was hopeful for the Picard series, but it didn't have the same feel to it, and the conclusion of season one was not good.
Which was on purpose in terms of feel, which I believe is the OP's point. So, if you were to attempt the TNG style/Berman era type feel instead of the newer style hoe would you want it done?
Yes. That was his point. I would have wanted the Picard series to feel more like the Berman era of Star Trek and have similar writing that drew us more towards what we saw in the TNG finale.
So how do you progress a season like that?
You want me to write the show myself?
I would say it starts without turning Picard into an android and killing Data (again).
I've mentioned this before, but I'd like to see more of the "Lost Era" between the end of TUC and the start of TNG, a span of time lasting 70 years. Plenty of time to be creative, rather than trying to shoehorn your show into a small period of time between other shows.
Not quite what the OP is asking for, sorry.

More an idea of how you want it to unfold. Episodic or more serialized? Stories you would like to see that don't fit the current production style. Things like that.
I know many want just "more TNG" but what does it look like being produced in a contemporary market?
Hard to envision all of those details, but I liked the look and feel of TNG and DS9. Expanding on that would have been ideal for me. I enjoyed both the story arcs of DS9 and the single episodes of both TNG and DS9.
So keep the same look?
Roughly. I am not overly fond of the feel of the new shows. They feel like Sci-Fi with really heavy CG and not the kind of Star Trek I became accustomed to.
Interesting.
Again, times change, styles change. One might as well expect new DRACULA movies to model themselves on the Bela Lugosi movie, or maybe the Hammer Horror flicks of the 1960s and 70s. Or demand that Godzilla still be played by a man in a rubber suit.
Not likely to happen.

It's a great question. I don't know honestly because the last few seasons of Voyager and the first few seasons of Enterprise just seemed to be rehashing what came before. I liked season 4 of Enterprise because it started to actually play into the continuity side of Star Trek rather than superficial continuity such as phase pistols, photonic torpedoes. I liked that they were planning to start the Romulan War in season 5 or do that in a movie. I liked the idea that if TNG movies had continued they would have done a giant crossover movie. I would be interested to see a Kirk prequel movie from the Berman era perspective which was rumored before JJ Abrams came along. There was an animated series pitched with the Enterprise G I think which sounded interesting. None of these are my ideas. These are all things that were maybe happening before new people took over.
Expect, no. Want, yes. Heck, I'd love for more stop motion King Kong movies.
