Can we get an honest CCP response on the state of the ESI?

Fanfest roundtable, can’t remember the name of which it was, but answer to my question (paraphrased) “will this new quasar/gRPC stuff replace ESI?” was essentially “yes but we can’t officially say yes”.

No, that roundtable was not recorded as far as I’m aware. If I remember rightly there was some discussion at the time, and it’s also slightly hinted at in the Quasar dev blog, that essentially as game services move onto Quasar/gRPC they can simply flag certain services as ‘public’ and those can then be consumed by non-EVE-desktop-client-clients. AKA third party tools.
