There is no confirmation that there will be a wipe after Salem comes out. However, I'm with you in expecting it for the following reason of logic.
Jorb or Loftar one has stated in the past that the only reason they want to reset the world is because of unrecoverable data corruption (end of w3) or implementing new game mechanics that aren't really compatible with the current (end of w4). They have both said that they are going to bring a lot of the designs in from Salem, as well as implement some of the other changes they haven't had time to do. I thus interpret this as "We're going to do a reset as soon as we get the code in place."
How soon.... well, could be a month, could be 3-6 months. I'm not going to hold my breath. From my experience, the time after the release of the project is nearly as busy as the weeks beforehand to deal with all the bugs that pop up.
