There's no one right answer to this.
But as I don't see Aerosmith without Perry or U2 without Edge, I'd rather have Jon continue as a solo artist until Richie gets his shit together. Especially, considering that last time they toured and recorded an album it was Jon who pushed everyone else to do it when others considered it 'too early', just like most of us, in order to get more money for the NFL team.
The way I see it, Jon should be more protective of a Bon Jovi brand he worked so hard to build. If Richie overdosed and died (I hope not, obviously), it would be another thing. But continuing without him would put Bon Jovi below U2 and the Stones, which is what Jon aspires to be.
