I think without Smokey there, he would have freedom to be a bit more casual about it. Smokey was also the reason Jacob kept the island continually populated with potential candidates, so that when MIB found a loophole there would be someone who could take his place.
That's where most of the conflict came from. The different people on the island and MIB's antics.
I'd imagine Hurley's version of the island would probably involve keeping The Light and Island hidden, and a lot of people who aren't so salty.
