What emotional impact do you see or fear? When I watched the band live I thought they were more energised and motivated than they had been in a long time.

Di'Anno's documentary will be released this Summer. An official statement was released some weeks ago. I think Maiden's will be seen in 2027: this and live DVD/Album.

I don't believe the break means there will be no work on Maiden projects at all. It makes no sense to waste so much time.
Regarding the documentary about Paul Di'Anno: The current information is that it will be released by Cleopatra Entertainment this summer.
I imagine Bruce will be touring alot probably Adrian as well and BL may well out out their third album. So lots of activity just not necessarily Maiden.
It doesn't make sense to me that Maiden would take a year off so that some members could (perhaps) tour solo.
With Bruce in particular, I always get the impression that it bothers him more when he has no commitments for a few weeks.
I believe he could and would definitely want to do both Maiden and solo stuff.

Caerdav is still expanding, he became director of another company last year, he brews beer, is supposedly appearing in his sons horror film is still writing the Mandrake Project comics (I think? or has he abandoned this?) and will be releasing a new album and touring with his band. Oh and he will fit in some fencing along the way at some point as well.
Probably other things I am forgetting. He gives talks at air conventions? So I think you can rest assured Bruce will have plenty of commitments. And who knows he may even fit in some songwriting with Steve/Adrian.

I agree with you about the shows. But it's the difference between Steve's 'carry on regardless' attitude, whereby the enforced change of Nicko's retirement is a hurdle to overcome to just keep going.
Versus any kind of introspection around what Nicko's departure means. What it means for how members feel about the band now, and about ageing. Crucially, what it means for working out what else they want from Maiden before another forced retirement likely forces the band's end.
Adrian, being the more emotionally sensitive of the members, is the only one I heard reflect on Nicko's departure with any real heart. I'm not saying they don't miss him, but my fear is that it is swept under the carpet in favour of ploughing on and preserving the ambiguity of Nicko still spiritually being in the band (if not functionally).
Not asking for 'Some Kind of Monster' levels of bullshit psychotherapy. But the way the emotions around Nicko's end of career are dealt with in the documentary will be an interesting marker.
