Almost half of all animators KyoAni has worked on this episode.

Has Tamako been their only recent series with such a large staff list?

RE: More Chuu2koi
Lots of misunderstandings here. First of all, there is no second season officially announced, they just said there's more to come. Considering the rebroadcast was already confirmed and there's an OVA to come already, it most likely means it'll be a sequel, but there's no official word on that. I assume they're being this vague because the project is still VERY FAR AWAY; you know how long KyoAni's production cycles are, so unless this was planned as a split cours since the very beginning it means we won't be seeing this until... winter? Fall at most. And that means there's still a huge chance Kadokawa might sneak in a new KyoAni project beforehand, something many people have been expecting since their last series was almost a year ago.
As to why KyoAni would announce this now even if it's not their immediate project, you should easily realize the reason. Do you honestly think Pony Canyon would allow an ad for Kadokawa's next show right after their current series ended? No one would want the announcement for a rival company's project in between their commercials for anime merch. And hell, considering the time lapse between Chuu2Koi's announcement and its premiere, I have no idea why you'd expect this to come to fruition anytime soon.

Do you still think there's going to be a KyoAni/kadokawa show coming soon? I find that doubtful.

Any reason to believe that? Hyouka's disc sales are good, the novels sold an insane amount compared to what they did before and even the manga sales skyrocketted, especially with the volume that had the OVA bundled in. All of that straight to Kadokawa's pocket. I don't see why they'd feel like breaking their partnership with KyoAni when it more often than not nets them a lot of money.

They're definitely taking a break on the upcoming season, and at this point I'm assuming they won't have anything this summer either. Tamako Market suffered greatly from pre-airing promotion (it was announced barely 3 weeks before its premiere, even though it's an original project) so I think they'll make a point of building up the hype for their upcoming projects way before they start.
That said, I still don't expect more Chuu2 before the next winter season so there should be something else before.
No outstanding cuts in the Tamako finale, but production values are solid. Now time for KyoAni to take a break and hopefully there will be some well-made shows this coming season to pick up the slack.
