I’m imagining the role will be greatly reduced and given to an ensemble member as part of their track.

Except that they posted a casting notice in May for Svetlana with all the other casting notices.  So I think the role will be cast but not a big name as after all going by most versions of the show ( including the 2018 and 2022 concerts this current version is based on) Svetlana is only in Act 2 so attracting a big name would not be easy.

 They do however need someone who can keep up with Lea on I Know Him So Well.
