Just as Emma brought something different to being the Dark One that was NOT Rumple, and neither Rumple nor Emma were exactly like Zoso or Nimue, a new DO would have, or at least could have, new motivations, new directions, new ways of operating. He would NOT be Rumple, and all that comes with being Rumple. True. I'm pretty much debating semantics and I'm not sure why the individual/replacement plot has to be DO. Likely would be cool as I would love to see more DO stuff.

Going with Rumple's end, I think he'd TLK the curse as I think it's going to disappear that way.
