Doesn’t “table the discussion” rather imply that they’re going to come back to it at some point. I feel like “it is what it is” ends any further discussion on the topic.
i would argue that nothing is ever permanently tabled, merely indefinitely paused.
“had to cancel my vacation” doesn’t mean they aren’t vacationing, they might very well be staying home, and enjoying their time. They might not be doing that, but they might also be planning another vacation later, which i would argue is where it is no longer tabled, at that point.

yes, i was suggesting something different.
‘it is what it is’ is a verbal shrug.
