Not necessarily. The director of Donnie Darko for example (Richard Kelly) has had to explain that movie countless times over the years, as has Ridley Scott with Blade Runner, or Stanley Kubrick with more than a couple of his films (The Shining, 2001, Eyes Wide Shut). Did those guys fail as directors because people still had questions about their films after viewing them, or because they were prompted to explain certain scenes during interviews? I would say no.
Not that I'm comparing TLJ to Kubrick, but I'm sure you get my point.
