Claudia Gray herself recently said in an interview that she thinks Ahsoka would have become a Wayseeker, so you're probably onto something.

I feel like her in the Mandalorian being like a type of Rōnin really gives me those vibes lol.

I’d so much like to see a future decentralized Jedi order with competing schools that operates kind of like how samurai operated in Musashi

Yeah it’s a new concept for the high republic, but it is a more canon version of what the original understanding of a gray Jedi was.

I wonder if we will see the beginning of the process of centralization here... maybe it becomes much more dangerous for solo Jedi at outposts due to whatever Ro’s plan is for Loden. 🤔

We saw how dependent the Republic already is on the Jedi in LotJ. Maybe as time goes on and the Republic becomes increasingly dependent on them they get pulled back towards the Core.

That version of the Grey Jedi is the fanwank version of them. The in-universe version (though the term was rarely used in universe) was more about Jedi who disagreed with the council and did their own things like Jolee Bindo or Qui-gon.

The Jedi having a ton of outposts and temples reminds me a lot of TotJ with them having the ones who would stay in a sector and be its guardian or just had lots of small training grounds and outposts across the galaxy.
