Something I would love to see is a future Vlad novel where each chapter is a discrete episode from some point in Vlad's past that he may (or may not) have alluded to in one of the existing books. Basically, 17 short stories starring Vlad Taltos.
I have no idea if it would be possible to wring enough consistency out of such a conglomeration of disparate tales to make a good novel. (Perhaps by tying together the stories around a central theme of some kind? Showing some kind of progression of Vlad's character?) But I'd love to read it if it could be made to work.
This would be a wonderful way to fill in a lot of the "missing bits" of Vlad's past that may not warrant a full novel of their own; but nevertheless help to round out his story.
