With that in mind, how far into the future might we see 18m variants undergo construction, or is it simply no longer in the plans due to the sheer difficulty it would take to build and fly

Once you have rapidly reusable rockets of sufficient size to carry >100 tons of payload, it is not clear that cost per ton to orbit/moon/Mars improves with a larger rocket.
Aircraft, for example, have moved away from 747/A380 to 777, which has ~100 tons of payload.
