I'm sure such a thread would have been made had Blake and Yang not been done to the point where it is such a polarising and, dare I say, controversial topic. Bumbleby shipping is easily one of few topics that will spark an argument or a relatively fruitless debate (alongside individual character skill evaluation and Cardin having a change of heart). A thread like that right now would probably be shut down (not literally) immediately and would descend very much into debates like ours or more... confrontational discussions.

As for it happening, I honestly don't care either way. I said this in another thread (or this one I have no fucking clue anymore, every thread in this place has a slightly different discussion about romance) but any interaction Blake/Yang could have that I want them to have they could have regardless of whether they are romantically linked or just strongly bonded friends. Bumbleby Romance would just be icing on the cake for me. The only thing I would hate is if Monty continues to keep Yang and Blake's friendship off-screen because they really could have one of the best relationships in the entire show.

I kind of hope Yang proves to be a little more reserved. Flirting, checking out and misleading is one thing that they can still come back from. Having Yang almost pressurising whomever she may be shipped with into physical activity (especially activity that some people can be uncomfortable with) would just be counterproductive of any relationship she is in. Not to mention I believe it would be completely against one of the key aspects of her personality: her altruistic, kind-hearted and warm nature.
