There was never going to be a Shenmue II postmortem, which GDC management quickly confirmed on social media. That slide at the end of the presentation was just a joke, playing on the cliffhangers the series is known for. Shenmue II as a whole didn't present enough unique challenges to warrant its own additional postmortem, which will be why those parts that were noteworthy were included in the postmortem we saw.
A Shenmue III postmortem would be interesting though, if the later Kickstarter updates don't already cover much of the same content.
PS: I feel like I haven't used the word postmortem enough in this postmortem post, so, postmortem postmortem postmortem.
