No hate or anything, but without Rumple (Robert Carlyle said this is his last season) or the possible returning guests there isn't much original Once, are the newbies enough to carry the whole show? I'm pretty sure Eskaver also said that the returning trio is overshadowing the newbies. This has been a pretty good season, it could end Once well, like season 6 could have, but I liked the idea of a Henry centric reboot so I wanted to see how it was, now the curiosity is almost over, it could work well as a single season story. That's more of a 7A discussion type of thing (because we all know bad shows can continue forever if there's money to be made).

In the Narrative, Regina takes a substantial part, then followed by Rumple, and even lesser, Hook. Seeing that Carlyle and Anwar are presumably gone, then that helps a bit financially. I have a side idea that Kitsis and Horowitz have a new show in the works (after their lack of success in Wonderland and Dead of Summer). We'll have to wait until TCAs to see if there's something there.

I say if there's nothing in the works (and nothing on the Marvel side), then Once has a decent chance at getting one more season.
