Of course companies are waiting for listening, which is what MC-IF was suppose to solve / improve. While there were no official announcement, I believe Velos Media wasn't listed in 2018, and now it has included in its members page means All major player in the HEVC licensing are under MC-IF. Even those who refuse to participate with MPEG-LA or other patents pool are here like Technicolor.
This is a very encouraging sign. Hopefully the listening terms will be out as soon as the codec is finalise.

Yeah, so much about AV1's future is dependent on codec licensing and businesss issues that AOM has no control over.
VVC will definitely offer better compression efficiency than AV1, and it seems increasingly probably it can do so with fewer MIPS/watts/mm^2 of silicon.
Of course, the more viable AV1 is, the more pressure there would be on VVC patent holders to come up with a clearer licensing story than HEVC has been dealing with.
