Also, major spoilers for the other after credits scene, on the cynical side of the optimism, some Sony exec clearly has a huge love of Venom (so much so they crammed that on Raimi) and the other end credit scene teasing MCU Venom is not something Sony would have done if they were leaving the MCU. They seem to love Venom too much to let him go as a toy in their stable, and if it were a soft-reboot to give Spider-man back to Sony I’d imagine that one would have played out in reverse moving Tom Holland to the “Venomverse”.
