These days WW is far more likely to present the Strix (or similar adversaries from the other lines) and what they might be up to as completely optional story hooks, possibly expanding on their history but refraining from dictating any future course of events. Even the present cosmology isn't fixed to the same degree as it was in the oWoD: there will explicitly never be an official answer to how the Supernal Realm of Fate and Time which mages call Arcadia relates to "the nightmare from which there is no waking" that changelings know as Arcadia, for example.It doesn't need to be that extreme. If the Strix do anything in books along a timeline contemporaneous with the default time of play, it's metaplot.
