It overall depends on the execution. If they, like you say, spent like 10 years (in real life, not in-universe) and they still didn't seem close to reaching the end, it could feel annoying, but not necesarily "boring".

Thankfully though, being a webshow made by a company which doesn't (or at least didn't) have the biggest budget ever, means the most we get to filler (which contributes to the issue you're mentioning) is WoR, which is the good kind of filler (as we at least learn something).

Something that could draw me back in would be showing that the Grimm were actually manipulating Cinder since she put it in her and that Salem understood this. And wanted Cinder put down by the heroes since she'd become a wild card. The "Grimm manipulating Cinder" depends on what kind of person Salem is (so far, she seems to rely more on Charisma than manipulation to keep everyone in check). Cinder becoming a "wild card", could happen, could not happen, though if it does she wouldn't need to be "put down" by the heroes.

Though both ideas don't seem like the kind of thing that would hook people back in if they left.
