I think it's kind of useless to search for an "heir." Obviously everyone will have their own opinion, just like everyone had their own opinion of Sonic Youth until the legacy was more set in stone. And even then, opinions vary.
I don't think it's quite ambition that we're talking about, though. It's more of a combination of ambition, innovation, and some level of success. I think there are plenty of bands as ambitious as SY, but that doesn't mean anything if they're not interesting. Innovation, on the other hand, has been kind of stagnant. But I always wonder if that means we're running out of interesting things, or if we just need new innovators with ambition and the ability to make themselves known.
