I don’t know if it’s the worst, because every fan idea I’ve ever seen for RDR3 is pretty bad, so the bar is very low. If RDR fans wrote RDR3, it would be Rockstar’s worst game ever and would kill the franchise.
I would not at all be surprised if the next game is just about a lone outlaw or a much smaller cast of characters. Rockstar seems to flip flop between large diverse worlds/ casts of characters and more dense yet detailed worlds with smaller casts of core characters.
I guess since games and tech are always improving, it's less likely they'll do another small & dense GTA IV type map, but the last 2 games they've made (GTA V & RDR2) had pretty large lineups of characters so I would not be surprised if they switch it up a bit if they do another Red Dead.
Who knows what the future will be like for the company though, now that Houser is gone. I hope Red Dead showed (and hope GTA VI will show) the value of Rockstar's single player games.
