So do we think any of this will get followed up on in Season 10 or will Moffat do something completely new. I'd really like him to tie up what felt like a lot of loose ends. My guess is that he will do something completely new (or involving Missy) in season 10, and Rassilon will be the main villain in season 11. While I'm not a Missy fan I would like to know what her proposal for the Daleks was, and the Rassilon thin in Hell Bent definitely felt like something had been deferred for a year when Moffat realised he was doing Season 10. I felt a lot of Hell Bent felt like a big buildup with no climax which is what made me wonder. Maybe once Moffat realised he was staying another year he rewrote the script and made it less about a final showdown and more about the story he tells Clara, which is why it seems to take this odd swerve left half way through when he leaves Gallifrey. The sliders are another clue to rewrites. They're built up to be a big threat, with multiple references to how dangerous they are, then they never actually do anything. they're a huge violation of Enid Blyton's golden rule of story telling.

If he does that, I'd prefer him to delegate to his writers, for the reason you said in your post immediately prior to this one of mine. Hell Bent was one of many examples of one of Moffat's fatal flaws: he can pull off truly outstanding individual episodes and he is excellent at setting up a plot-arc or building things up. But he is absolutely terrible at sticking the landing / tying up loose ends. The conclusion always seems to be perfunctory, not well-thought out, and hard for me to digest.
