A revisit to a previously-established concept isn't an indication of "running out of ideas". The Best Night Ever and Make New Friends but Keep Discord both dealt with the Grand Galloping Gala. Friendship is Magic, part 1 and Princess Twilight Sparkle both dealt with the Summer Sun Celebration. And some would argue that Leap of Faith is nothing but a retread of The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. The concepts themselves aren't the focus -- the stories written around them are.

The writers have proven their ability to take similar story setups and make them unique so it doesn't feel recycled. Maybe Brotherhooves Social (assuming it's official) deals with a male version of the Sisterhooves Social, but as long as the story written around it is new and engaging enough, it shouldn't matter.
