Freelancer... now that was a great game. Totally deserved a sequel. Can you imagine Freelancer with today's style of open-world game?
If X3 had a baby with Freelancer...
Yeah it dose deserve a sequel. I also have X as well altho I find them a little hard to get into and follow still good games tho.
Now back on track. I think the making of hyper gates or use of worm wholes are good idea's for a non mass rely ME world.
Well, if the rumors about "The Truth" DLC are right, we'll find out soon enough.
I still say FTL is a viable alternative. They'll have to build ships with bigger fuel tanks, of course, and maybe put the crew into cryo/suspended animation for the duration of the journeys for the really long hauls, but it'd still work.
Most other sci-fi series utilize methods of travel which don't involve instantaneously jumping from one point in the galaxy to another and it works fine.
There's also the Quantum Entanglement communication set up for transmitting to the Normandy. That may still function, and could be re-routed or modified to contact other parts of the galaxy.
But, IF the relays were really destroyed, I have no doubts a suitable alternative would emerge sooner or later. Like I said earlier - the Protheans re-created a miniature relay, there's no reason we can't.

would it be safe to say that all the species using the Mass Relays would atleast have some research data on the Mass Relays accumulated over time they used the Relays? if that were to be...then an attempt could be made to somehow reconstruct them?

That's my train of thought.
