I think the only doubt at all about the curse is what's happening to Annie. She seems to be in suspended animation, which might suggest that the curse has also paused its progression.

Also I think it would be cheap writing to contrive a way around the curse, or a way to pass on a titan without killing the holder. Those rules have been established and constantly reinforced since the beginning, so any change to that status would feel like a real deus ex machina.

The only exception is if they reveal the origin of titans and new doors open as a result of that.
