SBR doesn't strictly "retell" part 1, it also includes parts 2 and 3 with Gyro being someone between Will and Ceasar and the whole race being a "crusade", etc. JoJolion retells parts 4-6 respectively. Your look on this whole "retelling" thing is rather down-to-earth. Araki creates new stories in a broader perspective rather than doing alternative versions. Initial universe and SBR universe are not related in any way, so treat them from meta perspective and not just "oh, this character is dead, he can't redo it".

More to the topic: Araki said that he would like to draw manga up to 60 years. Who knows if still thinks so? As we can see, he just doesn't seem to run out of ideas.
