In short, no we shouldn't let the river change its course without extensive planning for the drastic consequences it would bring SELa.

I don't think there was a ton of forward thinking in the 1700s. Hell, I have doubts about how far ahead current cities are planning with the current level of technology.

It wasn't until the early part of the 1900s when anyone had an idea the river was going to change course. New Orleans had been established for a good 200 years by that point. That ignores the practical of how much industry and shipping are dependent on the river as it flows now. You're talking about 13% of the US oil refining capacity being knocked out and the ports that export all the food and products shipped down the river.
