The series finale will revolve around the new group of people, not the group that was given a farewell 2+ seasons ago. I would classify the OUaT reboot, as more along the lines of a sequel.

However, you are most probably correct about the writers not prioritizing, any of the original characters returning for the series finale. I only see Belle and Gideon returning for the S7 finale, mainly because Robert Carlyle is leaving. If OUaT is miraculously renewed for another season, it is incredibly doubtful there will be any more cameos from old characters. The only original actors would be Lana Parrilla and Colin O'Donoghue, if they both choose to stay.
