I loved that they bought back the Darkhold that was featured prominently in Agents of Shield, and helped create one of my favorite sympathetic villains in Aida. However I thought that the book itself was taken by Ghost Rider into a hell dimension to hide it, there's a story around how Agnes got that book. As well the terrifying truth of the Darkhold is it corrupts anyone who sets eyes on it. It corrupted Radcliffe who used the book to create the framework, and it completely corrupted AIDA. One can imagine the terrors that a corrupted Scarlet Witch will unleash and it goes towards the foretelling that she will destroy the world.
It was tragic that in the end, Vision and Wanda's children were removed from existence. And you get the feeling that while Wanda seemed to accept it, I don't know if I buy that she's over come it, nor the casual cruelty as she showed with Agnes by imprisoning her in what is basically a nightmare slavish existence.

Sadly, to me this is basically confirmation they are writing off the history of AoS. But they can always ret-con things if they want to bring the characters back, I'd guess something like the Hex, the Snap... opened a link between dimensions, and whoever the big bad of Multiverse of Madness is could have always given the book the their faithful servant Agatha, especially if they want to resurrect any of the characters from AoS.
I think if we see Agents of SWORD, the Thunderbolts, and the Inhumans all enter the MCU without a nod to Agents of SHEILD then the hope is dead, luckily I don't think any of those are really in development yet, so there is still time.
