Being better than the other two Wolverine movies is a low bar to pass. Though on the bright side it could avoid the trilogy curse that Fox's Xmen movies all have.
He's pushing 135-140 or so by now, right? Considering his powers gave him extended youth besides healing and his healing is diminished (forming scar-tissue instead of smooth skin), it stands to reason he'd also start looking more his age.
The timeline in the X movies is getting so convoluted, this is one of the few times I wish they'd do a reboot. Or, do right by the fans and just relinquish the rights back to Marvel.
But taken at face value, and discarding the fact that it's supposed to somehow mesh into an established universe, it looks pretty cool. Makes me wish they would have cast Jackman in the Dark Tower movie.

From what I've read, they're not too concerned with this film connecting perfectly with previous lore, something happened since the time of the "happy" ending of DoFP and when this movie is set, where there's only a few mutants left. I'm sure they'll explain what happened to the mutants and how Logan ended up the lone cowboy-esque figure via flashbacks and/or spoken word.
Now that Jackman is out, they're going to want to reboot in a few years, if anything to keep rights, Wolverine is the X franchise's star attraction and I don't think they're going to let that go. Agreed though, ideally Marvel would get the rights and we can have more crossovers.
Sure, it would be fun. But I ultimately feel the two universe don’t work to well together. It never made a ton of sense that people hate the X-men but love all these other super-powered individuals. They just never seemed to mesh together well.
Better quality films is the main reason I would be for it.
It's true that X-Men is such a huge Universe on its own that it could be too packed a movie Universe putting them into the MCU.
On the other hand though how cool would it be to see the Avengers go up against Magneto or Wolverine against Hulk or Spider-Man. Plus there's the Quality factor.
So yeah I think the pros would definitely outweigh the cons.
