Someone actually found the quote that refutes the silvan racism, let me see if I can find the post - here!
But yeah, idk. They pretty much have to include some of the BoFA politics, just in order for it to happen. And Bard and Thranduil and Bilbo being allied doesn't seem like something they can change? Probably won't be quite as friendly as in the book, but surely it has to at least happen.
Although -- in the books, Bilbo gives Thranduil a necklace, to make up for stealing food and drink while in Mirkwood. What if that means Bilbo's the one who gives Thranduil the chest of gems he's been after, in movieverse?
Oh man, now I really want to see that! Anything to disrupt my headcanon that the reason Celebrimbor gave over to Annatar's ring-making enticements was that it was following Narvi's death...
The visions of Sauron sound awesome. And like a very good way to freak the hell out of everyone there. XD And Thranduil's status as 'greatest of the woodland kings' is one of those bits of canon I want to make everyone acknowledge. I hope you do write this, it sounds so good!
