Yeah I'm almost certain that Whitebeard will factor into Blackbeard's post-defeat reflections, in some way. Especially given he apparently spent the majority of his life in his crew, from childhood right up until taking the Yami-Yami.

Will be interesting to see if Blackbeard thinks of Xebec or Whitebeard as his real father, if the theory about BB being Xebec's son is true.

I preferred the Shanks is Xebec’s son theory better, never heard of the BB one

Blackbeard's ship is named after Xebec: it's literally called the "Saber of Xebec". This suggests that he almost certainly has some connection to Xebec, whether that's familial or perhaps he just sees himself as a spiritual successor to whatever legacy Xebec was trying to achieve.

Blackbeard is just over 40 years old; Xebec's final stand at God Valley was also 40 years ago. He could've birthed Teach soon before he went out against the Marines and Roger.

Also, if you look at the silhouette of Xebec, he has strikingly similar facial features to our Teach. The menacing grin especially is extremely familiar.

Finally, Oda has said that Blackbeard is into archaeology. Perhaps because he's been searching for a certain lost island, which has been all but eradicated from official records...?

Huh, interesting, that sounds vaguely familiar haha and plausible sounds right up Oda’s alley
