> if this report were to quit today, are you able to step in and complete their project?

I’ve had many managers over the years, more and less successful, and this was possible just for one of them. And only because they were promoted to the position from a developer level on that team. They hated being a manager though and left the company promptly.

Turning this person into a manager is a major fail. Typically their only move is to quit, and everyone loses.
