Do you think reconciliation will ever happen in MDZS concerning JC? I imagine it'll take time, effort and development but I'm curious about your thoughts
Reconciliation with who? Because I think there's one character that he does have a chance of genuinely improving his relationship with post canon and them having a perhaps terse, but decent relationship for the rest of his life.
That person is Jin Ling. His nephew who does care for him a lot, but will not follow directly in his footsteps and is fostering a close relationship with Wei Wuxian as well. I could definitely see Jiang Cheng managing to repair and maintain his relationship with Jin Ling even as he grows up and continues to hone himself into the man he wants to be.
If you meant Wei Wuxian though, well there's a quote I believe from some of the audio drama art for the extras that I think sums it up pretty well.
"If perhaps someday we should meet again, it is better that we have nothing at all to say than too much."
To reconcile with Wei Wuxian is the sort of thing where I think it could only happen at the very end of Jiang Cheng's life, and even then it would never rekindle what they had before. As the book ends, Wei Wuxian is content to leave their relationship and Jiang Cheng in the past. Too much has passed between them and it has simply been too much to make it easy, and Jiang Cheng's responsibility for Wei Wuxian's first death and the death of those he swore to protect will always be there. The most they can do now is be not enemies, but strangers. There are simply too many burned bridges between them to ever truly reconcile in the way that people want.
I really like that about Modaozushi actually. Some things can't be fixed. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian really take the best option when they just decide to not try anymore. Their friendship died long before Wei Wuxian did, it just took them thirteen years to let go of those last lingering feelings.

I was talking to a friend who's a chengxian/xicheng/allcheng peep and we were talking about JC and his personality. She mentioned how with JFM and YXY gone, he would be more like his natural self but I'm agreeing to disagree because where LMAO Maybe WWX and JC could reconcile but that's more up to the reader to decide.
I mean he is more like his natural self, an asshole who burns his bridges just like his mother.
I suppose reconciliation is possible, in that Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian are both alive to do such a thing. But that requires Jiang Cheng to truly and sincerely make movements towards changing and becoming a better person, a lot of time and a lot of patience because Wei Wuxian does not owe Jiang Cheng another chance after he's used up so many of them.
It is up to the reader to decide, but given how very done Wei Wuxian is, if Jiang Cheng decides to go that route, it will be a long, uphill road for him and that is all because of Jiang Cheng. Which by the end of the novel he knows.
Thanks for the ask!
