Should WWE bring back the brand split?

Yes but only if they actually commit to it. In the first 3-4 years of the brand split you almost never saw people from different shows interact. Only backstage stuff at PPVs or during the Rumble. When they'd do a draft lottery it actually felt like a big deal because people didn't just jump shows willy nilly.

From the writer's standpoint, it can allow them to actually write proper angles for midcarders instead of just stop-starting everything constantly. More of the roster will be utilized. Bonus points if they have two separate creative teams again.

From the wrestlers' standpoint they might not only have a better chance of thriving/doing something important, but it keeps them from having to wrestle 20+ minute TV matches that nobody will remember on back to back nights.

They already have two separate creative teams, one for Raw and one for Smackdown. Assuming that the writing staffs will somehow improve or be able to write better midcard angles (or any angles for that matter) just because they'll have separate or smaller show rosters is an illogical fallacy. Vince still has the final say and unless that or Vince himself changes, nothing significant will change long term, even with a roster split.

In addition, there's no reason to assume that more of the roster will be utilized (booked or written) in an improved/positive way creatively simply because each show may have a need to use more talent each week. They'll still book and push the talent (based on talent type, politics, belief in success, i.e., pushing Reigns & Cena vs Ambrose, Wyatt or Ziggler) in the same way they've been doing because the writing staffs and ultimately the man in charge is going to be the same.
