Jean is back and she isn't going anywhere, at least you have your favourite back as a featured main character again, and she has been since she came back in 2018, and before that teen Jean was massively promoted for a few years.
I completely agree that Marvel was absolutely wrong to write out Jean, they took the cowards way out instead of just doing a divorce storyline and having Jean move on. There were so many things they could have done with Jean, have her divorce Scott, leave the Xavier institute to Emma and Scott, and Jean goes and joins the Avengers or perhaps she forms her own team of mutants. Marvel just didn't want to resolve the storyline with a divorce so they killed her off, because they were cowards, and because Queseda didn't want any grown up stories for Scott, Jean, Peter, and MJ in comics anymore.
Anyway, Jean is back, so is Emma and Emma got abandoned a few times herself. She was dropped for a while after Generation X ended, and then she got dropped again after IvX when the editors and powers that be decided that they wanted the Inhumans to be heroes for committing genocide, so of course Emma Frost had to become a villain so the Inhumans could be awesome (which they weren't and they still sucked)!
So now Jean and Emma are both back in the X-fold, they are both heroic, and they are kind of friendly right now and going for drinks after work like work friends, so that's progress to me. Emma is even buying the drinks!
As for the other two Scott and Logan, they were both killed off, and now they are finally back. After the horrible Uncanny run by Rosenberg, Hickman has fixed Scott and Logan and restored them to the badass awesome X-characters that they are! Scott is getting heavily featured, and Logan is in X-Force and getting his own book again.
I think things are looking up for all four characters, and we will get lots of interactions between them all going forward.
