I disagree with most of this entire premise, but I do think Carol Danvers as "Captain Marvel" does not work and should stop.
I mean I support the character Carol Danvers and would have went to see the film no matter what they called it. I don't really think that's indicative of anything.
They successful establish Captain Marvel as big time hero to general public and the Carol is Captain marvel to general public. Carol as Captain Marvel works and her success is a indicator of that.
I don't care for more than one character using the same name.

I'm interested in seeing how she ends up with the name Captain Marvel in the MCU. I mean, in the comics, it makes a lot of sense for her to carry the mantle. In the MCU, they really don't have any logical reason to have the name Captain Marvel. Mar-vell is how it came about and they really didn't do anything big in that movie with that character that it would make sense. Maybe Carol gives a fake name of Captain Marvel (her actual rank and the first name that came to mind) and then that name sticks. To me, that's cheesy as hell, but truthfully that's all I can think.
How many times has book been relaunched with the numbers in actually cancellation level? People exaggerate with this point. Some her relaunches have been actual change of directions with her book in no danger of cancellation but it is better internet story to say Captain Marvel is failing and need to relaunch rather than they changed what direction the character was going in and decided to go fresh start with number 1 for more attention.
