SM could have used another year, but even then the game is designed in such a way that even having more content wouldn't have changed how it felt like a railroad stopping at each tourist trap. USUM was released less than a year after it instead of a preferable two years, but even a third version can't remedy the problems of the base game design. BW had 4 years, and B2W2 had 2 years while no remakes were being worked on.
Sword and Shield have 3 years like XY, SM, and RS. That is my concern, and Game Freak has made it clear in interviews that a yearly release schedule is preferable.
