Although, they deserve credit for handling the fan service moments quite well, so far. Tobey and Andrew were put to great use in No Way Home. It didn't feel cheap at all.

At the same time, there is potential for a ton of cool stories, so I do want to see it played to it's full potential before the toys are put away.
I think the obvious time the multiverse stuff will go away is when they run out of universes that people would care about the MCU multiversing with.

Like, what do we have?

* Two different Fox-Men "generations."

* Two different Fantastic 4 universes.

* Two (three, including Venom?) different Spider-Man universes.

Um... what's really left that anyone is going to give a sh** about the MCU crossing over with? What, Tom Jane's Punisher? Nicholas Cage's Ghost Rider? That'll be that.
