It's not really end-game, because the original hashes are, themselves, hashed and not available (so you don't have a hash to work towards). And second, even if you somehow managed to get over that huge leap, raw noise won't pass Apple's review, so you have to reverse-engineer a new image that looks like CSAM, to match a hash you don't have. Big leaps required.

Technical nitpick: the hashes are not hashed (again), but rather cryptographically blinded. This is not reversible, so seems like a hash, but computations can be done on it which result can in some cases be seen by the server. This is actually all very clever, and described in a paper by Apple, linked from the technical summary article.
