While streaming is a good place for action cartoons to go, I think you run the risk of industry people Netflixing the series. You really can't trust anyone to make a good reboot these days, because they have a natural instinct when they're told to make a modern update-- to ruin it with modern trends and ideas.
About the only real good reboot happening is G.I. Joe Classified, which is itself multi-media and took Hasbro a few years to crack and develop thru marketing. Initially they threw around concepts about appealing to millennials which led a lot of people to believe that this meant PC and woke.
An article on Hasbro saying they were trying to appeal to millennials with the reboot back in 2017:

I think Hasbro hoped the comics might spur ideas for a reboot, but the people they put in charge each and every single time ruined it by shoving in modern politics and social media outrage crap into their books; having falsely took to meaning that by appeal to millennials they meant social media trends and politics-- an inherent flaw that happens in the majority of reboots. However when Classified came out that's not the route they went with-- they advertised with the original cartoon, giving it away for free on Youtube, advertising the line with it on twitter, and making a game heavily influenced by it, they just modernized the looks of the characters and the series as a whole to what kids liked today from video games. That was it-- no race or gender swaps, just figure out what works about the original-- keep that-- and figure out what kids like today-- and put the two together. Hasbro did a lot of marketing to get that right and actually sat down with kids and showed them art and toys and let them pick what designs they liked.
