Oh, I certainly agree that if Ingrid's plan succeeded (Just Ingrid and her adopted 'sisters' living in an ice castle, playing forever while Rumples destroyed Hook, cleaved himself from the dagger, retain his power and have his family with Henry and Bella) Rumples still planned to goo NYC - why? Gold would certainly would know that Ursula was in NYC (and the location of Cruella as well). Also it appears that Magnificent would still be alive, being also immortal (How would Ingrid deal with Mal after the curse of shatter sight killed everyone else?). SO he would at least rub his victory in their faces in some way. Probably Rumple would eventually kill them since being paranoid, he would not want to have any magical threats to his existence in the name of protecting his family (The way he killed just about anyone in the EF when Bae was still living with Rumples).
