There are a lot of backend related technical stuff to be improved in
2.0, and we should go for them even breaking some backward
compatibility, but not too much, I mean, having to completely rewrite
plugins is a clear no-go from my point of view, but if some plugins
require some adjustments to work in 2.0 then it would be ok.

But what I really would like to see in 2.0 is a UI change (just in the
way shown by Tom in his screencast). Jenkins (with the huge plugins
base) already has all the mechanics to do CI/CD really well, but the
UI is sometimes hard to use. Probably the current Jelly approach must
be kept just to ensure a good level of backward compatibility, but
there is a lot of things that could be done directly in core that
would really improve the UX, and (as in backend code) some breakages
should be accepted (and fixed in plugins).

IMO the most important part of 2.0 should be the UX improvement.
