Yes it fit with the film as a stand alone but not the franchise
They ran out of Fleming Bond books a long time ago so the series or 'franchise' has no option but to go somewhere else. Having a black female 007 appear in this one I think is an indication that all bets are off and to expect the unexpected.

Maybe it would make sense to go full retro and recreate one of the earlier films and keep it set back in the time they were written. That if handled properly by the right director could be great.

I think it is a fitting end to a great Bond. They gave Craig some funny lines like Moore had, the car/bike chase was class and there were nods to Connery even. The nemesis didn't have enough screen time and the balance of acts was not quite right but I enjoyed it for what it is.

If Bond survives it limits them in future. 007 gives them free reign.
