I don't have much doubt that lava will emerge elsewhere along Kilauea's east rift zone......eventually.
Look at any map that shows lava flows over the last two hundred years.
It's not Kilauea that threatens the most, however;
Hualalai is considered active, has much steeper slopes for faster moving lava, and has much more development on it.
While Kilauea lava oozes, Hualalai's lava will probably race to the sea.
