This might very well be the final arc of the series, and Isayama has certainly got much more than "exploring the outside world" and "epic battle between Marley and Eldia" planned. So I think we shouldn't jump the gun here, and wait until we have a clear idea of which direction Isayama is heading towards before deciding on an official name for the arc. It's for all the flashback chapters and the next few. Once the s**t goes down I think we'll think of another one (man I wish isayama made official arcs) Wait, does this arc cover the basement reveal chapters too?

The flashback chapters are still part of the Return to Shiganshina, because to discover the secrets of the basement was the goal of the 58th expedition, which was completed in those chapters. Also, after those chapters they finally returned to Shiganshina; accomplishing the second goal which was to seal the hole and recover Wall Maria.
