VOY and DS9 actually worked pretty well. After VOY ended, that should have been the end of Star Trek for at least ten years. ENT as well as Nemesis were sort of beating the dead dog.

I don't know if Trek could rebound. At least, not in the military focus that it has been. I think that a civilian centered show would be good, but not for a few years. Trek is on it's death bed. Give it time to recover. Anyway, I'd like to see what the future would be like for an everyday person. Not just people in Star Fleet.

I think Trek needs a different angle. The fandom needs time to get the "only geeks watch Star Trek" stereotype out of the way. Who knows, maybe if Trek is put on a shelf for ten to twenty years, it will become a retro-hit and demand for the show will be there. Demand just wasn't there for Nemesis and ENT.
