Sentai gets to do what it wants to do and Power Rangers doesn't have to tie itself into a knot figuring out the best way to market train powers or showa-esque monsters to a western audience.
Thing is(and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think Sentai really has ever cared about how easily it can be turned into PR? Granted, I'm not a Sentai expert by any stretch, but from what I have seen it seems they just sorta do whatever without really caring about foreign context. Heck, I recall and interview where it was stated that any of the PR references in Gokaiger were basically incidental.
And in terms of aesthetics, things really haven't been that bad. The only one that even sort of has an issue is ToQger, and mainly because trains aren't a huge thing in the US. Everything else, well, it's a much more interconnected world now. Anime and other foreign concepts are way bigger than they've ever been, even when it comes to kids. So if Sentai went absolutely crazy in terms of suit design, it wouldn't be that big of a deal, I think.
I'd go on but I feel like the post would just spiral into a rant about the Toku Community, so I'll spare everyone that.

Thanks in no small part to BOOM!, we now have ample material with no connection to Sentai to port over into Live-Action. The show has a history of including original villains and designs.
I also perceive the possibility of animation to expand on the franchise. Transformers has precedence with doing more than one show or continuity at any one time. Why not the Rangerverse!?
I'd rather believe in and see a ToQger adaptation air in the same year as an animated anthology AND a Live-Action Omega Rangers or Hyperforce!
I'm also thinking of that slim chance that Hasbro will put one show on Nick and have one on Netflix. Again, precedence with Transformers.
I know I'm spitballing, and I don't want to take away from the fact that Entwistle's connection is still a good thing for the franchise.
Pretty much all of this would be the absolute best case scenario for the franchise, IMO. Do what Saban did during their second Era; expand the franchise into multiple areas while still keeping the main show and its idea around. Seriously, they don't get enough credit for all they dd during the Neo-Saban Era in terms of expanding the brand.
