I can imagine it might actually block off Elena's path sometime in the next updates once Layla tells her they had sex. That she thinks the triangle reached a point of no return and it makes no sense to keep torturing herself.
I will probably make a save just to see how it plays out, but it won't be my 'main' Elena run.
On another note, I played the secret path for the first time (mostly just to get Tori's scene). While replaying the whole game I realised that if Emily doesn't gift you the bike, you miss out on basically all Iris content. At first I didn't mind because she wasn't one of my favs in the past. Though I must say I quite liked her during the beach scene. Now my secret path contains Layla, Tori, Gabi, Iris and I guess Alexis. Damn, it's gonna end badly. Kinda fitting that to get the furthest with Tori, you need absolute chaos and some assholish behaviour.
