The more I think about it, the more I think that they will choose one ending and one ending only to work with. I'm pretty sure it'll be the destroy ending. First, it will allow them to spend their budget more on the new storyline then trying to revamp the play through to account for the different endings. Furthermore, sure, they've said that Shepard's story is over, but they said that about Dragon Age Origins when it came to the warden, and a huge Tease for inquisition is that your warden may appear if only as a NPC. I think they are going to shelve shepard, but obviously keep the prospects of one day bringing him back. Furthermore, after the who ME3 ending Debacle, it was clear that ME fans were still going to play ME regardless of how angry it may or may not have made them. That being said, I bet their confident that if they stick to one ending the community will accept and get it over it, and anyone who didn't get the ending will just replay and get the chosen ending.
