Some added pages in the hardbound edition of The Final Encyclopedia
confirm your guesses.  Childe is indeed to be the culminating novel. I
found the Final Encyclopedia an excellent novel in its own right, since
it finally succeeded in getting me interested in the Friendlies, who I
had earlier considered rather boring.  At least it is now clear how they
maintained a viable splinter culture when almost everyone else but the
Dorsai and Exotic cultures had disappeared.
