No, it would be better, story-wise. Mainly because the garbage plot elements that Miles and Kerry provide would take a backrow seat to the entertainment factor Monty brings to the table. The reason V1-3 is better than V4-7 is because it's not plot oriented. It's spectacle oriented. Would I like RWBY to be plot-oriented? Yes, but only if Miles and Kerry aren't writing it.

Fact is, RWBY only works when the flawed plot is masked by epic fight scenes and comedy. Monty provided the epic fight scenes, and the comedy has swirled down the toilet ever since V3 ended. What we're left with is nothing other than the creative 'minds' of Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross.

This is why I say the 'plot' would be better with Monty. A minimalized garbage plot is better than a front-and-center garbage plot.
