I do worry how he would do with a Hobbit sequel, where the plot is not laid out for him. He demonstrated an ability to lose the spirit of Tolkien in LOTR even when the plot and dialogue were handed to him (in many cases, on a silver platter). So given a sequel where not much is provided to work with, I suspect we will find a production that has little to do with Tolkien's vision.
