Decompression and pilot capacitation would result in the aircraft continuing to destination.
Hmm... not true. Airbus doesn't automatically descend at FMCG calculated 'Top of Descent' point - it requires pilots to descend aircraft.

Plus see my post above. In that scenario the descent is initiated and follows lateral flight path but in a descent.
