I'd suspect the second option is more correct. We've already got two animation designs—this one and the one for "Miraculous: Adventures of Ladybug", so we know we're going to have at least a couple different 2D animation styles.

The reason why they're animating "The Chinese Legend" in 2D is because the backgrounds in the episodes set in Paris are all rendered in 3D, and it would take too long and be far too expensive to render a whole new city. Since the webisodes are set in Paris (as far as we know), I doubt that there's a connection. But we won't know until "The Chinese Legend" comes out, so you could be right; it's a good idea!
