What makes you believe it won't be a thing (or a rebranded version of it)?
Unless any of the European countries (even the larger ones) wants to be crushed by the economic weight of the US or China they better stick together.
Even most Euro-skeptics seems to get it by now.
The fact that Russia is removing itself from the game of economics and has voluntarily killed of European dependency on their gas is reducing inner EU conflict.
Not saying it necessarily will fall apart but there is a possibility. UK is already out. Hungary and Poland are very nasty EU members for lack of a better term. The tension is growing.
Personally I would much prefer EU to *reset* to bare free-trade, free-movement, no-borders ethos, removing entirety of central regulations and central governance.
