There is no reason for Taleworlds to stop developing / adding new contents and features to Bannerlord as free updates or DLC's after the full release, unless they plan to stay their 100~ developers idle or move to another new IP. I think both of these cases are implausible, Bannerlord is their most successful IP and they have no reason to go for Mount Blade 3 or another uncharted IP after the release. I think they will go Paradox style and keep adding contents to the game.
I speculate that they have already some plans regarding contents that will be added after the release (like elephant DLC) but at the moment they're fully focused on delivering stable base game experience to fulfill their initial promises. Therefore I speculate that full release will happen within 6~ months with the fulfillment of roadmap published in August, but full release will not mean the end of development phase.
Of course there is no promises regarding that issue from the devs but they're instructed to not to promise anything since they are already under the burden of fully delivering initial promises. So obviously, they don't like making more promises. We will see whether my speculation regarding 'development will go as usual after the release' is true after the release.
