Are we going to pretend that it's a stable position to be in?

First off, you are trying to create a narrative about the entire OL. IOL has been great for a while, and even after losing Thuney, it should still be a plus. It's about OT.
The Chiefs were unfortunate enough to have both OTs fall apart the same exact season. They've been trying to fix both spots long term ever since.
Taylor was obviously supposed to be one of those long term solutions, and in terms of a 3-4 year run/window, he was a solution, but he is absolutely overpaid. He's been fine when it matters most, so besides being overpaid, don't see the issue. The reason you're replacing him next year is to get cheaper there and he's approaching 30.
I don't know what it is with people like you and trying to create narratives about the team's personnel moves, but it's not even remotely complicated or confusing.
