I don't see anything about the Starship design that would prevent a future version with the nose cone being sealed off with a bulkhead, along with and explosive bolts attachment mechanism and Super Dracos attached (plus parachutes). The mass budget is there, and if it is designed to be detachable only in emergency then it could be a lot simpler than a separate capsule system design.
