Jinkx would sell more tickets than JCM. This announcement should lead to the show extending into June with Cole returning at some point.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
TotallyEffed said: "I wouldn't count on Cole returning."
The assumption was that Cole would return by the Spring to carry the show through the Tony Awards. Cole's replacement was always intended as temporary. Would Jinkx do a 6 month run?

Well, we do have the conflicting rumor of Glengary going in the Lyceum. Jinkx could come in for a limited run (8 weeks or something) and then close the production.
In terms of the Tonys, Oh Mary is already incredibly well-positioned for nominations.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
So no rumors on who'll replace Cole? Or does Oh, Mary close in January?

This would not be a particularly exciting answer, but it would make sense for Jinkx to go into DRAG THE MUSICAL - Alaska is leaving the show in January.
