well for what it is worth I do not have sticky saliva. What saliva I have is really watery (parotid glands are more or less ok). But I also have at times a dry mouth because the saliva does not coat things very well... And no!! I have not given up the hope for further improvements. I still notice changes with taste and things I can tolerate. Just as of this week I can tolerate dessert wine! (it is a different story whether I should drink this or if that particular selection is even desirable!!). Also tolerate means that I can drink a sip it does not mean that it tastes particularly good. From what I gather it takes more than a year to reach the endpoint of the recovery.

Have you tried exovac? I used this for a while and it seemed to help but you have to be careful with the dosage. Otherwise you end up coated in sweat. Also a humidifier helps during the night.
