That was certainly half of it. The other part was the same reason Dini put Stewart on JL; diversify the team. It works with Stewart since he feels like a veteran.
You're right it's dead, but it's a chicken/egg scenario where WB wanted DC relaunched so it synergized with the movies and avoid the "that's not canon" blowback. Except the relaunch caused its own blowback so DC called a mulligan, but the movies are too far into production to change again.
I got the vibe Johns was pushing for Crisis event with CW, and that was being incorporated into the Flash movie. Movie Flash referenced seeing Gustin in the Speed Force during one the writer/director changes.
Hard to believe Zemeckis would sign for Flash. He's passed on every single major superhero...but he'll take Flash. How does that not imply a Back To The Future story? Or it's Matthew Vaughn, a guy who made his name shaking up how story chronology is presented.
Inifinity War leads to Secret Wars. Darkseid leads into Crisis.
