They are explicitly a couple in sequel material so that's not a problem. Also you would have to be blind as fuck to say shit's just "strong implication". Did you miss Subaru crying into Tsukasa's chest and telling her she's been metaphorically waiting for her and then afterwards they're repeatedly holding hands? That's not subtext. That's just fucking text.
