Not really. They could explain everything: from character arcs, to location to actual plot. It would be an intense process for the first few days getting the hang of it all, but after that, it would be ok. And no, they would not have to check everything. Monty is gone, and to stay close to his story if you can't do it right it's a mistake. Shows evolve over time and it's not always the path you planned out first, but sticking to it when clearly it's not working, it's a mistake. And no, this isn't taking a dump over Monty's work - it's an admission that: 1) no one can be Monty 2) if Monty himself was alive, there's probably a lot he would change too over time.

If they hire someone to handle it all, then let that person do his/her thing. Explain the main plot, some potential character arcs, villains, maidens, but then, just accept relinquishing control. Sticking to a plan that doesn't fit anymore is only detrimental to the show
