A Goodreads user asked Ian Rankin:

Did you ever imagine Rebus would still ever have a 30th anniversary ?

Ian Rankin Rebus was only meant to be in that one book. Then the series got traction. Having retired him at the end of Exit Music I thought I was done with him, but he had other ideas. So no, he was never meant to stick around this long. But I'm glad he did.
