Sure there could be more Mother. Without Itoi I'm not sure I would consider it "Mother" since the games are pretty much self-contained. It's not like most Nintendo franchises where they have loads of recurring characters. Each game is its own beast, with maybe a few references to previous entries or familiar faces.
Xenoblade is a good point. Would "Xeno-" really be an appropriate title if Takahashi wasn't involved? He's the only reason Xenoblade was renamed from Monado: Beginning of the World. So I think a new designer and team could (and should!) create a "Mother"-like game, but I wouldn't necessarily call it Mother.
