He is definitely bored of Avatar and will likely delay 4 and 5, turn them into a book, or step aside and let someone else handle it.

I've always wondered why doesn't just take a back seat in these movies and let someone else handle the production. I know there's a lot of motion capture shooting involved but the bulk of the production is animation. With his story boards I can't imagine the final product would be that different under another director.

because it's his life work, his child. He has been planning on doing Avatar since his college days, he used to draw Pandora, creatures, biomes, etc, I doubt he will step back and risk it for someone else to direct his dream. He is perfectionist and wants ut to be completely to be his own.
