I was just viewing a report about top selling bookscan from 2017 and RHATO VOL 1 is among the best selling and made over $130k for DC.
It seems that fans like it best when the book is grounded and foucsing mostly on Jason. The second arc was about Artemis and since then it become mostly about smart Bizarro which made a lot of people lose interest and this actually explain why they decided to do a solo Red Hood arc.
*I admit that I also lost interest for a while during smart Bizarro arc because I felt it really dragged on and the letters being close to be revealed was what made me interested again, but I still enjoyed it and like Bizarro and Artemis which makes both worried and exicited for the new direction. I hope Lobdell handle it well and for DC to actually give it some attention too.

If vol 5 with solo Red Hood arc end up doing really well (since I doubt single issue will suddenly boost up in sales until fans see how it will be handled), I do believe RHATO will be relaunched into a solo series.
He has Gabby, Essence, Ma Gunn, Fey jr, Amal (Crux), S'Aru and that woman from RH/A.
And honestly, you can keep Bizarro too since he considered an original clone for the book and Artemis can also can appear from time to time.
Last we saw them, Essence and S'Aru were starting to rebuild the All Caste so there could be new faces in the future. Ducra even though is dead but her spirit lives on so it's easy enough to have her pop in and out of Jason's consciousness like she did in the old RHATO#18.
