Frankly speaking, I'm not against a selective adaptation concentrating on the remaining Demon King General volumes + some funny ones in 2-cour if it means getting a conclusion. I do believe the novel overstayed its welcome, so a tailored adaptation could certainly help.
Tailoring is always a natural process of anime adaption, even for the faithful ones. Even the first two seasons more or less cut out most of the gags involving Dust.

However, as far as speed goes, rushing for the sake of plot is not a good way to deliver comedy.
