They did hint that SE Asian tribes will be getting flavour and the like?

Catholics shouldn't go to india nor buddhists to england

But the Catholics did show up in the Far East during this time period. Very limited of course, but they did show up. So Catholics turning up in India wasn't impossible, just exceptionally rare.

I prefer the maritime silk road existing mechanically to promote the spread of whatever religion in-game MENA ends up having, and not just random Muslim merchants popping up in Indonesia in my Saoshyant run.

The map expansion will be part of the base game update, I thought they already made that clear.

All Under Heaven features content for:
China
Sinicized countries like Vietnam and Korea
Japan
South East Asia (Mandala)
The rest of the new map is either nomadic or tribal
Are we missing anything? The parts of the map that are gravely missing unique content like Europe and India have been there from the start

I suppose the one area being added in All Under Heaven which the devs haven’t discussed, and is thematically most removed from the flavour content of the expansion, is the southern bit of East Africa. I’m not sure if there will be any content there, and won’t be surprised if there isn’t. It might be left for an African dlc

I'd be surprised if they even got their own clothing but it would be a nice bonus. Probably it will play similarly to somalia now where youre tribal and likely to become clan

I think Kilwa is included in the expanded map. I would argue that the Sultanate deserves some content eventually, probably as part of an East African, general African, or Islam dlc

Kilwa itself (the city) isn't on the map (or if it is it is on the southernmost edge), and only the northern portions of the Kilwa Sultanate are on the expanded map.
The expanded map now ends just south of Zanzibar.

I wish they expanded the map further south, down to Mozambique at least, with the northern tip of Madagascar being included just like the western tip of New Guinea is included in the far east.

Yeah I don't know why they didn't push the map just a biiiiiit farther south to at least include Kilwa itself. Ideally even a bit further but at least include all of "core" Kilwa. I guess they were worried it would feel pointless without more of Africa and they were unwilling to include more.

..riding down skräelings with catapracts for the purple empire and establish more themes because why not?
I mean vikings did it so its more fun to take someone not expected. Aside from the usual dotindians go to meet their long lost feather indian cousins. Or the ghanan administrative republic goes back to carve MORE big african heads in central america. Just to keep modern day sino-norse archeologists from too much confusion. Clearly they were made around 1300 when the west african canoes sailed in and conquered the continent DUH!
Or just for the win of introducing elephants to the amazon jungle.

Maybe there will be an "African Flavor Pack" sometime in the future that will expand the map a bit to include more of it, even if it's unlikely.

and this is my main issue with this post.
Why shouldn't this be the last East Asian Update?
It's already massive, and there are plenty of significant and important areas in the world that are in desperate need of reworks, content and flavor.

My main concern, probably worded poorly, was that there might be no potential at all for future additions, both by Paradox and by modders (without people needing All Under Heaven as a framework to play their mods), not just to E Asia, but SE Asia and SE Africa. This concern has been largely alleviated. Whether E Asia needs more content after All Under Heaven is more a thing of personal preference, I would probably say for Japan and China, it doesn't
because it will introduce many, many regions, and not everyone is gonna get their flavor. realistically there will may be more regions that desperately need flavour after AuH than before it, just because it will also introduce some places without mechanics & flavor tailored for them.
I would e.g. be OK with not having the parts of AuH on the map, but now that they are on the map, I will want them to eventually get some flavour. not before e.g. Tibet, mind you.

Just as they can have historical characters who's in-game religion is dependent on the religion of their historical region when they spawn........ that wouldn't be hard to add in to an event sans-maritime silk road. It's a simple switch to have the missionary event fire and then ask "what's the major religion in Arabia/Persia/ETC?
One thought I have is that the current southward expansion dodges having to figure out a way to hide Australia.
If the map extends down to Sofala in Mozambique, you can't avoid Australia in some form.

Why not? The map doesn't need to be perfectly rectangular
