To make the end truly endgame and exploration interesting, make the portal activated with items acquired from areas around the Minecraft world. One way to do this is:
6 keys, each key is obtained by combining different items found in their respective regions. 6 eyes of ender are still necessary.
Each key would be crafted at a potential new block (fletching table?) from 4 extremely rare items found in its domain. It would be coated with suspicious stew to "lubricate" it.
Nether key from rare bartering item, item from smelting shroomlight and combining it with gold blocks, item dropped from brutes, and item from smelting basalt and combining it with netherite.
Cave key from mineshaft chest loot, dungeon chest loot, and possible new cave content in an update.
Ocean key from ruin chest loot, item dropped from elder guardians, shipwreck chest loot, and buried treasure chest loot.
Hot key from desert well chest loot, future termite mound hidden chest loot, future oases hidden chest loot, and future flowering cacti combined with gold blocks.
Temperate key from honeycombs combined with iron, woodland mansions chest loot, witch huts chest loot, and jungle temple chest loot.
Cold key from igloo chest loot, berries combined with diamonds, chest loot buried in snowier snow, and trading with a snowy fletching villager.
To expand this, in the end update make the end then contain items needed to acquire the insanely peaceful endgame sky dimension, but that's an idea for another time.
