Honestly, in my opinion the Retconny writing is the only thing to blame.

If Seasons 3-7 were written with the masterful brilliance of 1 and 2, with timelines, clues, foreshadowing and plotlines aligning perfectly, then I reckon OUAT could go for many more seasons. The overall drop in the quality of the writing ultimately made this show a ticking time bomb for many years.
