So I'm not sure if they're going to eventually powergame Minecraft or if it's just going to turn into pixel art la la land (which is okay but it's been done to death) BUT if they do really buckle down and play seriously they have three routes they could take in Caves and Cliffs, right?
I really want them to find nether wart and get into potionmaking. It's just useful and nightvision/unendingbreath/strength just makes the game so much easier for content like Ocean Monuments etc. You can't wing it, but it just works so well.
I think if they build a road straight out over the lava pits with the striders, just maybe 1000 blocks out from the portal then open another portal in Caves and Cliffs it would give them an opportunity to test a whole new world. Everyone would want to see that.
