One good thing I think may have happened is the infrastructure left behind may allow the Taliban to operate like a 20th or 21st century entity instead of an 18th century entity. They may wish to use the human capital that has grown to their own benefit rather than suffocate it under draconian rules. I mean, when they were overthrown, there was 1 computer in the entire country, and Mullah Omar had it. He was unable to use it. Now nearly everyone has a computer (cell phone) in their pocket. The initial moves they've made indicate they do not wish to squander what they've inherited. I think they will try to leverage what they have and supplement it with the usual sources. If they have figured out that if only 50% of the people in the country are productive, it holds everyone back, they will go a long way towards making Taliban 2.0 more palpable to the people in Afghanistan, particularly those in Kabul.
