Nothing you mention is even remotely an impediment. At its heart,Torchwood, really, is "the Doctor Who spinoff with Captain Jack and a team." You still have Captain Jack. You still have Gwen and can create a new team. The premise is such that the cast members are all pretty much expendable (proven when their strongest story to date was done after two of the team were long gone) except for Jack, and he's still around.
The hub can be rebuilt, or they can get a new HQ -- when we first saw Torchwood in modern times, their HQ was Canary Wharf, after all. The rift is still there. The two different showrunners aren't exactly strangers who never work together (quite the opposite, in fact, especially given that Who's show-runner created Captain Jack).
And I find it impossible to credit that whether or not the show comes back will have anything to do with any fandom backlash.
