They are already planning telescopes using Starship's capabilities, and one of these telescopes has a mirror that consists of several segments, albeit not hexagonal and is pre-assembled. The telescope is being touted as an overall cheaper solution due to the diameter that Starship could carry. But there is also a telescope that is an enlarged version of JSWT.

JWST is probably a required stepping stone for these future telescopes.
