Yes I would grow brassicas again. Some people grow them two years out of three with success. Having the soil healthy will help and the extra organic matter is good for them too.
The whole question of rotation is usually made to sound too complicated and it is more flexible than often presented. A good guide is to work out what you want to grow, which is unlikely to fall neatly into the normal categories of rotation such as potatoes – brassicas – legumes – salads, alliums or whatever. Then simply rotate as much as possible, according to your desired harvests, so that vegetables of the same plant family *brassicas, alliums, umbellifers etc) are not grown consecutively, except in unusual circumstances such as you outline here.
In my gardens it is often just two years between lettuce and tomatoes, and three of four years between alliums and legumes, depending partly on when space becomes available in summer for plantings of autumn and winter vegetables.
