I don't think we need to worry about them pulling Spider-Man from the MCU anytime soon; the Holland is likely contracted to (at least) three solo films, in addition to Civil War and the two Infinity War films; thus six in total.
It would be nice to think his contract will expand beyond that, because I'd love to see him in a future Avengers film in addition to an odd cameo or helping hand in one of the other future films. Homecoming has already established that the MCU exists within Spider-Man via Ironman, so it's unlikely Sony would reboot Spider-Man for a fourth time, especially when their previous attempts haven't exactly worked out so well in the long-run (thus needing reboots).
If anything, they'll go the way of DC in that they'll have a different version of Spider-Man for their own little universe, and allow Holland to continue reprising his role as the hero in the MCU; it's kinda' a win-win for Sony if they do this; two versions of the same character at the same time and yet, in separate universes. If one bombs, they've got a backup, if they're both successful, then that's a profit for Sony.
DC are using Batman in Gotham, Titans, in their DCEU and (eventually) within the Arrowverse too (it's only a matter of time); so if they can have three, potentially four incarnations of Batman, Sony can have two incarnations of Spider-Man.
