The Mandalorian episode he directed was one of the best in season one so I'm optimistic

He managed to make a Thor movie I didn't hate despite how fucked up Loki's family tree was. I have faith he can undo the damage that has been done, my first choice would've been Panos Cosmastos but Taika is definitely high on the list of directors I respect/admire.

No, I believe the solo thing being referred to here is Disney hiring an interesting and talented director known and loved having a specific voice, and then trying to squash that voice so it fits a specific mold

This.
Disney hired Lord/Miller, then got angry that it became a Lord/Miller film - and brought in Ron Howard to beat it into being the "Star Wars" Disney actually wants.

As noted before he directed the season finale of the mandalorian (along with playing a character)

I haven't seen that, so whatever. My point remains that there are a lot of big pressures on releasing a 200-400 million dollar Star Wars blockbusters, and the series hasn't done well with comedy in the past.

...and my point is hes demonstrated himself to be an excellent non-comedy Star Wars director already

Yes, but there's a big difference between an hour long TV episode & an enormous blockbuster movie.

I like him as a director, I'm just worried that his vision might clash with the suits-- like what happened the last time they hired guys who had largely worked in comedy for the Solo movie.

Solo bombed at the box office didn't it?

Maybe they'll give him the freedom he deserves because of that.

This happened with Marvel as well (Ant-man, Avengers 2) and it worked out fine for him. With Thor Ragnarok and Mandalorian they're pretty familiar with him.

He's co-writing with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917). You have two Academy Award nominees (one of them also being an Academy Award winner) working on this and Star Wars fans still can't be positive about anything lol
