I would like to see that, purely to see Stahl playing mature and decisive Connor.

Because that's one of the biggest problems in the Terminator movies, I think. Beginning with T3.

T3: we get Nick Stahl John Connor put in a place at the end where he has to become the leader we saw in the T2 flashbacks/flashforwards.

And then... that's it. We don't see that pay off.

T4: we now have Christian Bale with a Terminator heart in place. I guess this will pay off in some way beyond them just going for irony?

Nope. We don't see Bale Connor again and the heart thing is never mentioned again.

T5: Jason Clarke Connor is a Terminator! Which was always stupid. I don't think they even planned much beyond thinking that alone would blow everyone's minds. It might have, if they'd kept the Stahl Connor all the way through or at least the Bale one. Bringing in yet another Connor makes the whole thing completely numb.

The whole twist with Connor being SkyNet servant was just another attempt at being "we are cool and subversive now, because, post-modernism and subversions is en vogue", IMO.
