I’m not praying for the film to fail, I just want Disney to understand that there’s still lots of interest in T’Challa. I’d feel the same if M’Baku was next up and the more I think about it I prefer him to Shuri lol.
I don’t think Disney’s trying to play anyone against each other, I just want my favorite superhero on the big screen, if that means his successor failing critically or commercially can’t say I’d be too torn up about it.

Agreed! The fact that Marvel feels shuri will do just fine as the defacto lead of black panther shows they really didn't respect the property. I hate the fact we have to lose out and see the MCU treat T'Challa pretty much like he's treated in the comics. He still doesn't have a company wide event that is centered around him being THE guy!
But she’s also a damn child with zero displays of physicality to her name, an underdeveloped quippy personality that works in small doses but is untested as the core of a film’s dialogue, a so-so actress that’s the weakest in the cast, and has a cloud of controversy that’s just waiting to explode at the right moment (especially with COVID picking back up).
If anyone deserves the mantle it’s Nakia, who’s basically T’Challa but a woman lol. She’s already eligible to be BP as seen in the first movie and you could easily reveal she had a child with T’Challa at some point for an added layer of drama as she takes on her husband’s role. Lupita is the most high profile and talented member of the cast as well. If not her then M’Baku. Anyone else is just a waste of time IMO.

I agree with some of your points but Nakia was a bit boring to me. She's exactly the kind of female character people always seem to complain about. And why would already have a kid with T'Challa? I don't think he's the kind of guy who'd do that. I didn't like Wright's comments at all, but it's possible she could've changed her mind. I'm not super enthusiastic for her, but I can't say I'd be excited for Nakia.
Because that's what happened in the comics for a time.
