You've been on a roll lately Anon.

Depends on what you mean by "pointless". Much like Anteiku, :re was intended to become a home for someone who is "lost", but doesn't solely exist for that reason. If Kaneki decides he doesn't want to return, :re will just continue on. We don't know what the café employees are up to, but I take it that we're supposed to be under the impression that :re does all the same basic stuff that Anteiku did. It's a place that helps any ghoul in need and serves as hub for humans and ghouls to gather.

Right now, the café might be in trouble if the CCG identifies Touka and Yomo. Assuming they don't die, :re would probably be destroyed, then a new café made elsewhere with the same purpose.

If you mean narrativly pointless, that would mean the themes surrounding it would never be fulfilled. Which are "home" and "balance between humans and ghouls". If it doesn't fulfill these things on a narrative level...then nothing I guess. It was just a dropped plot thread.
