I, for one, find it unlikely for Yakumo to continue the clan due to her Health condition, but it's not impossible for the main branch to continue through her. The Clan had multible unnamed members in the anime, some of them were bound to have offspring to continue the Clan.

Thus, given the high possibility that another Clan member could be born with the KG, then the Clan would Prosper and perhaps even give rise to a Hokage at some point (if the Clan members didn't decide to kill said member before they gained control of the KG), but until then the Clan would be living in ignominy as it did in the anime. in the past it was hotstuff, but without more skilled members the Clan as a whole doesn't amount to much and are then left to obscurity.

Alternatively the individual member would be considered too great a threat by the 5 shinobi powers and an assasination would be ordered (if Kumogakure didn't abduct the shinobi first)
