I'd be pleasantly surprised if Superman & Lois is renewed for another season considering both The CW's extreme cost-cutting under its new Nexstar ownership and DC's desire to focus on a new live action Superman. That said, I'm not sure anyone wants to be the bad guy and risk a backlash by prematurely cancelling a generally well-liked series. Whether or not S&L gets a season four is going to be a very interesting decision no matter what that decision ends up being.

I would say that it depends on the individual show. A show that often touched on serious topics like MASH for example never should have had a laugh track (and ultimately discarded it) but it was unthinkable for CBS at the time the show started to air comedies without on-air laughter. Other shows that are more broadly absurdist comedies like Night Court are better off though with a laugh track IMO.
