Some players still want normal human hair colors and hairstyles to complete the High Elf aesthetic (I'm sort of in this camp since I really want black as a hair color option but that has nothing to do with High Elves for me).
Some players still want more in-game lore showing and explaining how and why the High Elves are joining up with the Ren'dorei (I'm strongly in this camp - I like the concept of Void Elves as the way forward for the Alliance High Elves, but the lore is lacking currently).
Some players will never be satisfied until the racial tag says "High Elf" or "Quel'dorei" and they can be Paladins.
So for me, the answer is... "almost". We're very close to what I personally feel is a satisfying answer to the High Elf request.
In regards to High Elves specifically, I feel like, outside of the Silver Covenant, the Alliance High Elves have stagnated for years as far as story advancement goes. I believe that Void Elves can be future of the High Elves, but there needs to be in-game story elements showing and telling us about this development, what drew them to the Ren'dorei, and how they are acquiring their powers (we still don't know how new recruits are becoming Void Elves).
Aesthetically, all that's really needed to finish the "High Elf Look", is to add a few hair color options in the human range of hair colors (yes that includes blonde, though my personal want is black), and a toggle for the hair tentacles so they can be turned on or off (or replaced with braids as some would prefer). More options in general are always desirable regardless of what "theme" they might trend towards though.
I personally don't feel like the Paladin class is essential to Alliance High Elves, though others may disagree. There's also the lore conflicts of that being possible unless Blizzard decides to just throw lore out the window for gameplay's sake, or make new lore explaining how it's possible. The most important thing to me however, is that Void Elves have their lore expanded so we understand essential things about them as a people going forward, and how they are the future of the Alliance High Elves (and defecting Horde Blood Elves as indicated from the Silvermoon Scholar NPC's in Telogrus).
