The block construction heat shield was new on Artemis I. Now we just know that it is an unfixed problem that will be done differently on future missions.
And Artemis III has nothing to do with in-orbit propellant transfer, that will be SpaceX and Blue Origin testing independently of Artemis III.

Unfixed problems on a new technology mean it’s still new.

I may have fucked this up—isn’t the depot supposed to be up for III? Or is that punted to IV?
