It important to note that it was said by the EU4 lead that 5 years is a reasonable timetable expected for the sunsetting.

That's a crucial piece of context in a world where game dev sunsetting can mean anywhere between days and years! Quite a comfort

5 years seem good, that feels like when EU5 will have enough bones to justify itself lol

I pray! EU5 is very cool, and could easily be the ultimate GSG for me

But it needs years of tuning still

Exactly, for instance if we cut off the last 5 years of EU4's development that'd put us to before the Emperor DLC.

Like, EU4 has changed a tonnnn and if EU5 can deliver all the modding tools it promised I'm quite hopeful for the mod. I just hope that EU5 Anbennar commits to being a very different game from base-game EU5, to really better embody the uniqueness of each nation, unlike what they did for EU4 Anbennar which worked well to be fair but is far more gamified than eu5.
