The tone is what makes the show as fun as it is. I think it's why - as usual - fandom efforts to predict S2 will fail because you can predict broad outlines, but not the idiosyncrasies that make it what it is, but I'm also not that worried about the creative team's ability to maintain it over another 10 episode series or two (I would be over 10).
But I'm also not that worried about Luckus being chucked overboard for the same reason. Firstly because he's surely going to survive, so it won't be actual murder, and secondly because I don't really adhere to the Muppets theory. It amuses me when I've seen it about Izzy as the one human on the Muppet crew, to his inevitable distress, but really it didn't stand out to me as a thing, because it feels fairly normal for this kind of comedy drama or sitcom. The protagonists get the lion's share of the 'real' emotion and moments, though the supporting cast gets some, and it is the protagonists whose characters primarily are explored, deepen, and drive the narrative, including when distressing things happen to the supporting cast.
