Well, yes, that is certainly true. But then, the same could be said of any hoped for "synergies" between the OS and the '91 series. These days the '91 series is also pretty much ignored at the Fests as if it doesn't exist. The fact of the matter is that there is definitely a contingent in fandom that will never accept any versions of DS other than the original, just as there is still a whole contingent of Star Trek fans for whom there will never be another Star Trek except for the original. Though the big difference between the DS and Trek fandoms is that Trek has been able to produce versions of itself that have been hugely successful apart from the original and they can stand both apart from and together with the original - but for whatever reason, subsequent versions of DS have never taken off to the same degree as the original. And until something like that can happen, until there can be a newer version of DS that can stand just as successfully on its own, if such a thing can ever happen, more than likely there will never be any sort of synergy between the OS and a new version of DS like there is between the various versions of Trek...
