> If they “do” Blofeld again, would be amused to see Bond’s every success inadvertently making Blofeld (he or she) more powerful each time.

Brilliant idea!

I also would like Blofeld to become physically attractive and imposing, more Savalas-like charming, less meager stepbrother or Volcano-hiding coward.

> M was a man, then a woman, then a man - but always someone who was to be trusted and capable (yeah, yeah, the NTTD-M faltered in the worst possible way, but in the end he was at least considered “still capable”). What could M be now? Should they strengthen the antagonistic attitude towards Bond? Would Bond these days have to work for someone he does not like at all, nor consider good in his job? Or does M always have to remain a paternal/maternal figure for him?

I think M respecting Bond’s abilities should always be present, with him considering Bond the best agent in the service but not outright telling him. Ideally they should be close enough for M to ask for favours outside of work, such as observing Drax at Blades. Things like that should be enough to tell Bond how much esteem there is for him. We know there are other 00 agents, but it should almost feel like Bond is the only operative M meets with. He’s different. He’s the best. But things aren’t always going to be friendly given the stresses of the job - Bond’s return to MI6 in NTTD is my favourite briefing in the series.
