You know, if it wasn't for Henry, Snow could very possibly undo the curse (the same way that Regina did), and everyone would go back. But Henry was concieved and born in the LWM, even though BOTH of his parents were EF residents. I have to assume that babies at least either conceived or born in the EF can go back, otherwise, there would have been a problem with not only Henry but Alexandra (Cinderella's daughter), which prevents any problems for Prince Neal or Aurora's newborn.

And of course, as we saw in 3B, once the curse is removed, there is no going back without casting the curse again.

For now, at least, I think everyone in the main group is content to live in SB. And it wasn't all bad. they had penecillin, Doc had a Miata, they had cell phones (at least flip phones).

Now, I wouldn't mind seeing something like a permanent portal set up between the EF and the LWM. Something that could allow the characters to travel back and forth at will. That could open the possibilities for stories in the EF, or at least the ability to go and retrieve some useful item that didn't come over in the curse. And maybe that could also address the issue of others in SB that would rather return to the EF. And with the combined powers of Emma, Regina, and Rumple, they might be able to pull something like that off.
