Still, there's always a chance they're including the sequence for nostalgic reasons, but I definitely wouldn't shoot down the idea that Shenmue III opens with a quick recap of Disk 4.
I'm one of those strongly shipping SIII starts at gd4, just because I hope they change the fucking flying sword and lasers and bring it a little more to earth, also guilin was such a change of pace that feels different from SII and a nice start (since people picking up the game without playing SII would not know what the fuck is happening. If SIII starts at disk 4 they only need to know "you followed your father killer to here", also it explains a bit about the mirrors and shit.
Would be a wise choice IMO.
