They could also try porting the adventures to other systems if it flops.
That’s what Troll Lord Games appear to be doing and Goodman Games come to think of it ...

I continue to be stunned that they haven’t done conversions to 5e.They could also try porting the adventures to other systems if it flops.

That should be a simple thing, as the writing is done and the art is paid for, you just need to pay for the conversion and re-layout making it a fraction of the original cost while also potentially appealing to an audience many times larger than the original printing...
They don’t need to pick one Edition over the other. They can keep doing what they’re doing now and just publish a few 5e books.I'm not so surprised. The question that they have in front of them right now is "where is the value for the Pathfinder brand?" If the Pathfinder brand is mainly a tabletop RPG brand, then it would make sense to latch onto D&D and put out 5e supplements of their Adventure Paths and supplemental books to extend the 5e engine into areas that Wizards isn't interested in taking it.
But if the Pathfinder brand is a whole product line brand, then giving up their own game engine becomes problematic. How does that tie into other tabletop gaming (like card games and the like)? How does it tie into other media, like video games? How does it impact the rest of their business?
From a business model standpoint, reverting back to being a company that supports D&D may not actually make sense in the big picture, even if it looks like the obvious move from the perspective of the tabletop RPG side of things.
