I hope not, I want him to get his full accolades while alive. I have no doubt he will come up with a great ending. Though I do wonder if he got spooked by the TV Show ending.
Yeah, season 8 had three separate season-sized story arcs. If winter was S8, Dany going nuts was S9, and dealing with her was S10 then you probably had the exact same plot but everyone loves it.
I have no doubt they got the major beats right, but their execution to get to those points was horrendous. After watching season 8 I realized why the fAegon plotline was important. GRRM can get there in a more satisfying way.

The tv ending is probably the ending.
The problem with the show’s ending was less the ending itself than that they didn’t put in the necessary work to get there in a satisfying way.
