Yes, I believe his story has been told from the perspective of this series. I've had this debate with friends on and off.
But if you look at him at the age of 50 he's like a 3 year old. So in the span of the rest of this series if its one year longer or two, he'd still be a young child by the end of it, and not fully trained. Even by the events of the ST, he'd be the equivalent of a 8 or 10 year old.
I don't think they want to tempt fate by having him going from a babbling infant with a cute factor of 10 to an actualized talking somewhat developed hero. Plus his power would be off of the scale and he'd be the ultimate shift of balance in any scenario.
The Mandalorian had a quest where he got connected to the Child and then had to deliver him into the hands of his own kind, the Jedi. That was accomplished. There's really nothing left to be delivered on that story unless you want to bring Mando in from the backwoods of the galaxy into the Force Wars that are evolving.
This was the end of one chapter of the Mando's life, they're going to move to another, whether its the Mandalorian Civil War. Or continued brushes with the Empire while he takes up other quests is the question.
But yeah, in my heart of hearts and just looking at logical story progressions, the Child story to me is done and in a satisfying way.
