Nope, the fight with Thalmor so petty and small that calling it insignificant that it's an insult to all insignificant scrubs ever to exist. The Journals written by the Thalmor are ultimately insignificant and due to the diverging paths possible in TESV, it is more likely for the conflict to take such a significant change by TES VI that everything is completely different by then and the Aldmeri Dominion would've not been such a clear cut antagonist anymore.

But for ease of continuing the story, it's easier to just reference the events of Skyrim in a Lore book and write a different story, different crisis for Players to solve in TES 6.
