TL;Dr: There’s MANY possibilities for in-between timeline ‘modifications’.
No, she did not say a flat-out “no, I won’t change a single thing.” while leaving it only at that one statement.
(i.e. “only with the full timeline as presented in 02″ for example)
The full answer is a bit more complicated but it’s not that hard to understand.
I copied the entire text on Eng stream (explaining opening lines) so you don’t have to.
(Posting for MY reference.
Honestly I’d prefer no re-blogs but you can ‘Like’ post if wanted)

"Ano, {um} tatoeba {for example} desu ne, ano..."
(Note: Eng stream just has “NO” exclaimed at start. It’s not quite that.
Listening, I heard “ano” and “tatoeba”. “Ano” =/= a definite final “no”.)
"No one knows what may happen in the world, whether it be 2027, which was shown at the end of 02, or ten years from now, because look at how much all of our lives have completely changed. In just these two or three years, it's 2022, but who's to say how the world will change in the next 5 to 6 years? So I illustrate what their lives might be like 25 years later while hoping the best for them. Yeah, so, as a creator, I show what I HOPE it would be like for the characters 25 years later, but actually, there's only 5 years left before 2027. And in the meantime, who knows?"
"J@pan might sink into the ocean. Or... w@rs might erupt around the world. In that case, Daisuke might not have a ramen shop anymore. Having a ramen shop might be an impossible luxury in such crisis. But I've never regretted showing a brighter future that I hoped would come true. Nor have I ever thought about changing it." ...
"But... I'd like to say to the producers for the future DGMN series, a single tree has many branches from which leaves grow. With no leaves, there's no photosynthesis, and the tree itself cannot grow. So, I think it's better to have a variety of branches and leaves. With that many more possibilities, it could reach the future of 02."
"And if the world is able to regain peace in the meantime, I'm sure they'll find that future."
(Kizuna producer) "When you come to think about it, what we had in mind when we made Last Evolution, was the possibilities what might happen around the year of 2010."
"That separation that we illustrated in 2010, might come as a great shock to some, but it was still ONLY 2010 at the time."
(Kizuna producer) "There's still 17 years..."
"That's right! From that point, there's still 17 years until 2027! That's enough time for a newborn to grow into adulthood! That's why I think, it's not better to think in such linear terms. But rather like a tree with it's branches unfurled in various directions."
"You'd have more fun watching it that way, right?"
(Seki) "I think it'd be fun watching it that way! And for those who watch that way, you might be able to imagine the new Digimon that have matured into various forms. So I hope that's how it turns out."
Basically: if you are using this as a means of now shooting down other’s Queer ships/HCs for Sor@to and Kenxyako, or ANY Queer ships for literally 0 reason (when it was never outright specified they were all definitively “in Straight relationships”)... you are wrong and you SHOULD feel bad.
