It would work out really well canonically to have Maul in the Boba Fett film. In the Clone Wars series he built a small criminal empire, ruled Mandalore briefly, then lost it all. The in Rebels, 15-ish years later, he has pretty much nothing and eventually dies a few years prior to ANH. With all of this in mind, there’s a 15 year period where we up until now had no clue what Maul was up to. Now we know he’s the leader of Crimson Dawn, but roughly five years after Solo he’s lost it all again. The Boba Fett films could show us how Maul lost Crimson Dawn. And as for more casual viewers, there could be a brief mention of his survival (skipping the details; Madalore, his brother, Dathomir, etc.) and he could have a “conclusion” of sorts. A defeat which implies that there’s more for him to do (e.g. plot of Rebels), but enough to satisfy people who doesn’t bother with the EU.

Either that, or Lucasfilm simply doesn’t care and just wants everyone to watch everything. I dunno.
