Wuhu Island + Miis is just way too sterile of a vibe for a game like this. SNES Pilotwings, mainly through its incredible soundtrack, managed to create a great atmosphere despite having other issues holding it back. 3D is a great feature for a game primarily centered around landing your aircraft just right, but the music consists mostly of uninspired, tepid remixes of prior Pilotwings tracks, and the mission design is far too basic and uninteresting. I think a great Pilotwings game could absolutely exist, but it doesn't seem like the sort of thing Nintendo would ever put the time and effort into getting right.
