If Solo and Episode 9 come up (far) short of Disney's projections, then sure, that'll cause some form of shake up, but if it's just Solo, I wouldn't be so sure. With the DC films it was a case of them getting progressively worse over a number of movies, and then Justice League was simply the straw that broke the camels' back. The Ghostbuster remake...I mean it was one movie. Would they have liked to have it do well, and set up several sequels, ya I'm sure they did, but that's a case of the thing never even getting off the ground and running, so it doesn' correlate really.
Of the three new Disney Star Wars movies before this one, 2 of the 3 were generally quite well received by fans, and even the one that wasn't still made bank. So if Solo flops, chances are Kennedy will get a stern talking to, and Episode 9 might be pushed back a bit to make sure they don't muck things up further. Then they'll wash their hands of that trilogy and find a way to start from scratch so everyone buys into the hype again.

The Ghostbusters was being planned as a franchise. After the first one the shelved it.
Wb did not wait till JL. They restructured and replanned after BvS, SS and WW as well trying to save the franchise

Ok, so it was planned. But again, it never got off the ground, so it was still very easy for them to just write it off.
And I know there was some reshuffling before Justice League, but a lot of those changes were very surface level. After Justice League completely bombed, they were like ok enough, lets bring the guy who's been running our horror division, turning small budget flicks into big hits, in here to oversee this mess. Lets stop letting these DC movies be their own little enterprise within WB, Geoff Johns...sit down, Jon Berg...kick rocks, etc.
