Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't believe that a possible on-screen conclusion is imperative for Maybe Ever After.
Then again, I admit that I don't know the details of the breakup anymore, whether or not Erik explicitly made it his goal to win Jessica back. I only remember that Luke visited Jessica as a friend and no romantic tension was felt between them whatsoever.

Well you’re right about Luke not being a factor. A factor is a reasonable expectation that they will get back together. There was a sign she was happy he would decide to be better but no indication that it could signal reconciliation. A reasonable chance being the imperative. Cancellation, the amicable but inconclusive last meeting with no hug or other semi-romantic gestures leans to not a reasonable chance.

Honestly I'm not all too hung up on it all. If you can remember the details of the breakup better, then I'm trusting you on it, so go ahead and do what you think is best.

Regarding the final episode of Jessica Jones. I originally removed the example MaybeEverAfter due to the definition of a hint or implication a successful conclusion to a romance arc. I thought that was no indication of such an implication, the break up seemed pretty final with no hint of continuing. Of course with the cancellation of the show itself there will definitely be no continuing. While Erik the person she broke up decided to become someone worthy of her. That is no indication that would mean she would take him back or seek to re-establish the relationship. To be fair I used Luke’s return one of the examples as to why that MaybeEverAfter did not apply. Which is not a factor come to think of it. It was added back after removal and I was wondering if it warranted removal again. As the example is that the relationship will return as "probably" or "kinda sorta maybe." But there was no indication of that in the final. They broke up, he resolved to be a better person. She focused on stopping Trish and that was it. I removed the example because the main thing is a “reasonable” likelihood they would end up together. There was no hint of that in the final and with the cancellation no further chance of that happening. Is it valid for removal again?
