Does anyone think we'll ever again see Ukrainian boots (beyond SOFs) on the ground in Crimea? And if so, how does it come about?

While it would be a legitimate target, especially in light of what Russia has done, I doubt Ukraine will because of the risk of civilian casualties.
It turned out to be not a drone but an Iskander 9М727 missile that didn't explode. The standard warhead is 480 kg; the explosion could ruin half of that building.

If it happens, it would be a pinnacle of the series of large-scale and complex operations, in my opinion. The peninsula should be isolated, air defences suppressed, local air bases destroyed, and missile and strike UAV capabilities degraded.
The approach from the north is risky due to flat terrain and short flight time from the Crimean bases.
Russian forces north of Azov will threaten the flank until pushed to the east. The Kerch bridge should be destroyed before any advance towards the Crimea. Bridges and road connections with the mainland have to be secured.
Some day, hopefully.
Yes. I actually tend to think it may come easily. By this I mean that I can see the Ukrainians strikes and the like making life for Russian forces in Crimea untenable (basically starve them out) and then essentially walk in.
