Interesting line of thought but the question is whether others in the regime wouldn't just continue the same trajectory and/or whether they'd be intimidated by Putin being bumped off - people like Lavrov if anything seem worse than Putin. Also the question as to how much of this is actually Putin or he is the face of a group of people - there have been a few claims 2-3 powerful people in Russia are actually the ones pulling the strings - but whenever I've looked into it the information is inconclusive at best.
I get thatI think people are mostly joking when they say those kinds of things, though Russia does have form for people dying in mysterious ways.
Bit like if we were around during King Henry VIII's reign, people would be debating how long his wives keep their heads attached.

It's like Rian Johnson movie subverting expectations just for the sake of it with no pay off and a dumb ending.This week in Russia, feels like I’ve watched a really bad movie, where they ran out of budget halfway through, yet instead of cancel the film - they just released what they had, directly onto vhs…
You need help thenIt's the only scenario that makes any logical sense to me
So Putin won - from the `deal` made, Wagnar is being disbanded and the PMC troops either join the regular army , quit or head to berlarus without equipment.
