The real reason the Thalmor outlawed Talos worship is that they think he has taken Lorkhan's place, and is keeping Mundus alive. In the Elven version of the creation of Mundus, Lorkhan tricked the Aedra into helping him creating Mundus, and thus trapped the lesser Aedra who evolved into the Elves. While most Elves have put that behind them, the Thalmor are the exception. They believe that as long as Talos exists, Mundus too will exist. So they think that if Talos dies, Mundus will go with him. So they outlawed Talos worship believing that if no one worships Talos, he will cease to exist, take Mundus with him, and allow the elves to become Aedra again.

Wheather or not this is true is unknown. But if it's not the Thalmor will seek other ways to unmake Mundus. Maybe instead, they will turn to Massar and Secunda. We still don't know how or why the moons vanished. But if the Thalmor were behind this, Tamriel could be in grave danger if the Moon Gods are on the Thalmor's leash. The goal of ESVI could be to free the Moon Gods. I just hope if that's the plot of ESVI it doesn't end with a poorly written cop out or a lore condradicting ascend to a higher plane of existence crap that screws up sybolism and the cosmos like the Siege of the North from Avatar The Last Airbender did. *Shudder. I hated that ending.
