Whether Bear comes back or not probably depends on the new coach Stanford hires as well as the amount of OL talent upgrade/maturation that is projected to occur.

Luck needs to play moneyball with the NIL funds.  Football is a team sport, and we can't undervalue the linement on either side.

Yes agree that Lineman should be a priority.
To borrow from Field of Dreams:  If you build it (OLine), they (QB's) will come

Bear certainly isn't "coming back" during the next two or three years unless he loses the QB1 job at BYU. If he keeps that job his next stop will be the NFL. The only places he MIGHT possibly go would be places who can pay him much better than he currently is and are good prospects to win a National Championship. That is definitely not Stanford.
