Actually, according to Denis Villanueve, 2049 is based on the European Theatrical cut and not the Final Cut. Denis said that in 2049, Deckard being either a replicant or a human is never decided. The only thing for sure is that Rachel was (and this is a minor spoiler that is found out in the first 15 minutes) and that she and Deckard had a child.
I was speaking more of the feel of the movies and not any context that was added or removed with the voice over. After seeing Blade Runner 2049 I can see myself going back and watching both consistently, but I can't see myself wanting to watch the voice over release and then following it up with the sequel. Either the 1992 Director's Cut or 2007's Final Cut would be a much cleaner transition in tone and pacing.
