Ariane worked just fine for James Web, BepiColombo and Rosetta, and Ariane 6 is already slated for multiple interplanetary missions. Reusability lowers launch capacity, it doesn't increase it.

ULA managed to sent two rovers to Mars using Atlas V, and Ariane 6 can carry 3 tons more into GTO than Atlas.

I think ESA is going to manage just fine.
