So I'm guessing that 60 is going to remain the max forever, and once the next expansion hits, Shadowlands is just gonna be one of the expansions from 10 to 50?

I think you feel that way because we have no info on the story. With BFA we knew there was going to be a faction war, and old gods from the announcement blizzcon. With Shadowlands they are leaving all of that a mystery. We have no idea what a 9.1/2/3 would look like. I think thats what scares people, but I highly doubt there arent plans. They just didnt share those with us.
I hope they rework heirlooms into set gear for leveling instead of XP buff (symilar to legion Class sets for OH)

I think this is fine honestly because they needed to focus on core systems and that's exactly what they've been showing so far. Most of the focus has been on core systems: leveling revamp, increased character customization, class revamps, interesting gearing system, covenants are kinda like the pseudo reps. And then ofc we have all the usual core stuff like Dungeons, M+, Raids.
It's nice little bit of synergy that they're giving us a choice of four movement/stealth abilities designed as means to "avoid combat" right before tossing us in a hyper hostile zone we're supposed to explore in a surgical, cautious manner.
That's what it is. They said they want each level to unlock something. Whether it's a new dungeon, a new ability, or upgrade to an existing ability. But the nice thing is that they're also speeding up leveling by 60-70% so people can get to level cap faster as well.
And besides gameplay fixes, Shadowlands will have all of the outdoor stuff we usually have from legion/bfa, mythic+ etc. We are getting covenants and the tower along with the usual zones,dungeons,raids etc.
This expansion has more content than MoP lets be honest. People love MoP. MoP has outdoor dailys, dungeons, raids, pvp, challenge modes, pet battles, scenarios. Thats it.
Shadowlands has, Outdoor world quests presumibly also some type of assaults and emisarys, dungeons, raids, pvp, mythic+ dungeons, pet battles, Covenants which include a way to get followers, they hinted at a mission table, end game progression, and story like class halls/war campaign. It also have the rogue like tower, and a dedicated eng game zone like Legions Suramar.
