Lots of movies have revenge plots, where the wrong was done in a time frame set before the movie, so having him marooned on some abandoned planet or in a powerless shuttle to die would be a good reason to want revenge.
True, but it wouldn’t be “personal”. Revenge usually plays out better when there is that personal element, which is why WoK worked so well. The last movie made it personal by tying it in through the Spock character. So I doubt they will go with a plot with less emotional impact in this film, which is supposed to be darker and have more emotional impact.
