The fact that they only announced that the Hashira Training arc (9 chapters only) is getting a TV Anime (max 3-4 eps content) might hint that the Infinity Fortress arc will not be in the next season but adapted in upcoming films instead!

Prediction time: Only a single episode of filler exists so far (for Mugen Train) so they won´t turn an arc that fits into 3 eps into a cour so 1/3rd or so of Infinity Castle will be slipped in. There is a chance that the anime will extend the manga by a bit, as it entered its final arc out of nowhere during a popularity spike, but not during the last breathing section. The rest of Infinity Castle will get its own season, maybe with original material, with an unusual episode number before they finish off with a Countdown Arc film trilogy to print all the money.
The one Gaiden volume has material for exactly 4 eps but where to slot them... who knows.
Crazy that the most successful anime film of all time, by over 100 million without inflation, made 507 million during peak Covid and is now just part of S2. Forever rendered irrelevant as a standalone product!

I agree with nearly everything you said, except for the movie trilogy, and this is...kinda why? I still don't understand why Mugen Train was adapted into a season of the TV series after the success it had at the box office in Japan. I mean, the story itself wasn't a very good movie plot (the pacing of the arc is better suited to serialized storytelling), but the decision to adapt it twice is just...rather mind-boggling.

Because they didn't adapt it twice? They just recut the movie and didn't have to do any extra work aside from the original episode. I don't know why this is such a strange concept

Why adapt it is a movie? Because of money! Why re-adapt it in episodic format? money!
Same reason Battle of the Gods and Resurrection 'f' were released as movies and then as the first 27 eps of DB Super. Same reason once Super returns Broly and Super Hero will be turned episodic. Money!

Maybe every episode will only cover 1 chapter so that there could be 9 episodes.

Considering the pacing problems the latest season had, I was really hoping this next mini arc would be considered part of the final one instead of getting its own TV season. I'm crossing my fingers that they won't stretch it over 10 episodes or so.

they can't. it's impossible unless they disgustingly stall and add fillers or something.
I don't know how they gonna do this to be honest.
most logical way is they make a 4-5 episodes mini "cour 1" and then take like 5 months for cour 2 which will be beginning of another arc.

I'd say it was closer to 14 episodes considering the length of the first and the last episodes.

I`m still betting that there will be a little bit of the Infinity Castle Arc in this new series.
I mean while the Hashira training arc is interesting there is no big threat / peril to make a huge bombastic finale.
The hashira training arc officiall ends with Muzan showing up at the house to see the master. The first part of the infinity castle arc has the big fight sequence leading to the bombing and all the hashira fighting Muzan and beheading him BUT he doesnt die and a load of trap doors open and they fall in to the infinity castle.
I think it would be SOOOO cool to end wth that fight and they all land in the infinity castle and the whole "oh crap" moment is where the season ends - that would be the perfect hook in the new season
