Who knows, maybe another director would of been okay with them having British accents. Maybe another director would not of went to Africa to study the culture to make the movie as authentic and possible. Maybe they would of went with the same, safe origin story without addressing tough, real world questions.
My wife finds all superhero movies boring. Just action sets and explosions and jokes without really focusing on the story. My wife loved BP. The only superhero movie she likes. Why? The story was engaging, she didn't feel like Erik was just a generic bad guy. She said at the end she didn't fully see him as a bad guy and she liked how it wasn't so Black and White in terms of the hero and the villain. We might not of gotten that with another director.
So Honestly I would say, another director can and will do fine. Another director doing as good or better? Yeah the bar is set way high for that and I would pity anyone trying to follow up what Coogler did if they weren't coming correct and 100% like he did
