You are mistaken. All they are reworking is the way data is stored, which is why you need to redownload everything. The client and the APIs for addons will stay the same.
Check the
performance improvement plan:
Q1 2020: Update 25
Patching overhaul
Big changes to the way ESO is downloaded, patched, and stored on local hard drives. We need to refresh ESO’s patching and file manifest data to remove duplicate files and older data that is no longer needed. This will result in a major reduction of space taken up by the client on the player’s local hard drive. Console players will see a significantly larger impact compared to PC, because of the way those patching systems work
User Experience: Major improvement in load times, streaming of assets, and reliability of asset loads, especially on consoles
NOTE: Every ESO player, on every platform, will have to re-download the game client when this change happens, probably with the launch of Update 25
NOTE: After this change happens, patch size going forward should also be reduced

The "remove duplicate files and older data" part is the only thing that may affect addons.
