Almost like it’s not been well planned.

There’s still plenty of room for a very large show building if desired.
But think of the expensive canopy

Still plenty of room.
Not for anything meaningful. Loosing the Tron link to the speedway - and the originally planned coaster entrance plaza - has made a right balls up of things.

You are massively underestimating the amount of real estate still available. They could fit the Haunted Mansion in the available space if they desired. I’d call that meaningful.
Hardly. Not without blocking the new build. But hey.

Which is exactly why they need to tear up the Speedway and use the land for something better. I said it elsewhere but there are hundreds if not thousands of better versions of that ride scattered all over the country. It's such a waste of space.

The new build isn’t really designed to be seen or accessed from the speedway side. There’s a lot they could do with the space. The space the speedway currently takes up is larger than most attractions at WDW.

I am of course well versed with the size of speedway.

I know. Which is why I’m surprised you are so wrong on this topic.
I’ll step away from this one.

And it kept shrinking.....
But are they capable these days of theming a ride building on more than one side? 
Epcot says no. There again be thankful we kept the Wonders dome.But are they capable these days of theming a ride building on more than one side?

The Speedway takes up about 4 acres. I think Martin is right on this one though, Disney is spending bookoo bucks on the TRON ride with it's large attention-grabbing light-show-having canopy. To then turn around and block it from an entire cardinal direction with something would be a surprise. It's far more likely that the Speedway gets chewed into bit by bit for other things until it's one loop.
I think the best use of the speedway is a smaller, windier two-lane car ride. Something more reminiscent of a drive in the country (like Autopia at DLR) than the current NASCAR-style grand prix. I always liked the Tin Lizzy at a lot of parks (including one in my hometown). To see Disney do something like that with modern electric cars would be nice.

I reviewed my posts over the last few months, and I can track how brutally honest and critical I’ve become over the last year. It’s all just simply that bad. As a long-time fan and former CM, I hope it gets fixed soon.
