I started reading SBR last week, I´m not near 1 third and I already got to see why many praise it as the best jojo part (and I didnt even got to the juicy bits), the Race is super well done, Araki made the speech bubbles of the characters carry some crazy impact, right at the beginning, it´s very clever, I´m not used to watch Jojo on manga though, so I could see Part 6 having a similar impact on manga, so take this with a grain of salt, but you could see from the early chaps that Araki had done massive prep time and research to come up with that part and making it monthly just helped him having more time to devise proper character arcs, etc...
That can vary due to a whole set of things, depending on particular tastes of the viewer and what the author thought and worked up until now, I do agree that prep time and research before making a series will always be valued more than having more time to think on the rest of the work in hiatus after the series started being released, but it´s painfully obvious it will have a huge impact especially in franchise based series, like Jojo which should always require it´s authors to have some time for prepping up the different parts, not only setting wise, but in many other aspects like characterization, of the characters, pacing, the overall plot, etc... It´s much more harder to get all of that done, in a weekly release scenario and while it´s possible for some to do some great writting, from time to time, it´s hard to keep certain standards and rules prestablished, being kept well, for the whole run of much of the weekly SJ mangas, especially final arcs, a couple of hiatuses might´ve helped many writters (depending on whether or not they cared about what they were writting) improving their writting in my opinion, but it depends a lot on what it would bring to them, eitherway I defend that the weekly chap release schedule for Mangakakas can be a bit overbearing for them sometimes, so we should give them some slack from time to time, when they do hiatuses, especially for health reasons, if their health is bad, they should do a hiatus rather than try and produce a chap, because in those conditions, they would rather finish the chap and release it ASAP because of health conditions, etc...
There´s a lot to say about this matter so I will stop here, but there are many different ways to look at hiatuses, like longterm ones, those can always end up worsening the writting standards in scenarios were the respective author can no longer keep up even a monthly or weekly release schedule for more than 4-6 times due to health issues for instance, it should be very hard to have to deal with health problems while one has to writte a manga afterall, but for the most part I still think the advantages of a hiatus here and there at the "right time", should outweight the negatives and depending on context could increase the quality of a series.

). And this could have been avoided with some little hiatus. I guess.
