If "nobody gets infected anymore ever" is meant...I think that does not hold true for myxomatosis . Afaik, the exact opposite is true. But I am no vet or virologist or anything . So someone correct me please if I am wrong .
I think the main problem is that there are many gradations of "metastable/endemic" with hundreds of possible causes, so grouping it together while in a mathematical sense might be reasonable in an epidemiological sense is less than ideal

Saying "we will eventually reach a metastable point" presupposes a discrete definition, which obscures the reality that this could range from very low disease transmission at low cost to common and large outbreaks that are not themselves epidemics

It may be for how you approach epidemiologically speaking a mitigation strategy of such behavior, but for the potential of causing epidemic behaviors it is pretty clear. The question is on average to distinguish if the burden of one of the other is that different?
