Whatever stigmas attached, Drow and the Underdark are still and will remain very popular. Not as popular as dragons, but more than popular enough for WotC to try and move past the controversies (as they've been doing). They're not going to drop this, particularly with novels and potentially campaigns tied to drow and/or the Underdark to be released.

The drow lore stuff is for novels. I'd be extremely surprised if there's a drow-focused rules book or adventure book. Even an elf-focused one would surprise me. A Monster Manual type book that happens to include drow, maybe. But idk.
The Nathair's Mischief spell UA suggests that the fairy and dragon stuff are related. Wouldn't be too shocked if the feywild book is also the dragonborn/kobold update book. Even though that doesn't make any thematic sense to me.
I'm thinking the unannounced book is a variant rules compendium. There's a fair few of them now, counting ones from adventure books, and we haven't seen any "genre emulation" variants since the DMG came out. It's a weird prediction maybe but I'm putting it out there now.
