I'm happy for the one dev who's been lone rangering as I hope it means he's finally getting paid, but the pressure is going to be on to get an ROI.

If he was not being paid before it means he had not built a sustainable business. That means changes will need to come in the future to do that.

No matter how you look at it there will be change coming. Fueled by people who want a return on their investment.
