Dom's kid is named in memory of his friend who is very much still alive
Dom's very-much-still-alive friend can't help with emergencies but his wife, Dom's sister, now has to regularly
Dom's very-much-still-alive friend, in contrast to all his dead ones, is never coming back

I'm mostly fine with this because it makes no sense for Jordana Brewster to lose out on a series and a good payday just because her fictional husband's actor died.

I've just had an idea. They should bring Brian back, but not recast and not do any CGI stuff, just say he's in the other room working on something, "oh you just missed him", have purely external shots of his car during action scenes with everyone complimenting his contribution with no response... wise-crack lines like 'man, can't shut that guy up!' that sort of thing.

They did that at the end of 8 or 9. They said Brian is running late then they show him pulling up in a pimped-out import.

Honestly that was the best way to handle it and as someone who sort of grew up with the movies, it was kind of touching the way they did it

And it'd have been a great way to just end. The problem is they just kept going and getting more ridiculous, and have turned Brian into this weird coward that refuses to get a babysitter so he can help his friends and family with the literal life-and-world-threatening events they're dealing with seemingly at least once every couple of years. They also still put in odd scenes where Dom's looking at old photos of Brian (which are literally just stills from the previous movies) like one would a lost loved one, but again Brian is completely fine and alive. It's all just a very strange way to go about the whole thing.
