So in my opinion and those who I work closely with in the House, we have come to the understanding that when we write legislation now we honestly just need to be more specific for the certain things that we really want done ie the core concepts. Since a lot of my legislation falls under the Department of Energy we have and will continue to leave the caveat that roughly says "or other departments or agencies the Secretary sees fit". Recently we in Congress have been sloppy writing legislation that was way too broad.
Post Chevon gives Congress a second chance to stop giving away all of its power. Departments and Agencies are not held to the same level as a Member even though in some cases Congress gave away their power with will say pollution regulation to the EPA and Congress gets blamed when it wasn't the current Congresses fault.

So that is a question I think everyone you ask will have their own take on it. Given that this was handed down after the Congress had already started and Congress had its priorities and started introducing and passing bills I would say no. A lot of the legislation that came out before the decision and even up through July were bills that in some cases had been worked on for 2+ years to garner bipartisan support.
Now are there some things I feel that both sides could agree on easily and get passed yes but since it is an election year and all the races are close neither side wants to look like they gave in. After the election depending on the outcome we could see some of these bills come together and pass through but I am not sure they would be signed by Biden if they could in anyway effect his legacy.
