That would indeed be a massive disappointment.
Yes, by all means have old characters and maybe a few cameo's but
it should be new stories just with a classic TNG vibe and overall look.
If that's what you're hoping for I'm not sure you'll get it to be honest.
Everything I'm seeing makes this look like a modern TV show with a very specific story it wants to tell, rather than the more story-of-the-week nature of TNG. I wouldn't expect too much "boldly going". Just about everything is going to be about driving the arcs that they set up.
I'm fine with that as the nature of TV has changed and I do prefer the more narratively focused shows we get now (I think it produces better writing and shows in general), but it does mean that you lose a lot of the stand-alone type of stories you might have otherwise gotten.
