Well, production will be in its sixth month so the main cast might be done by then, and if not, will be given a couple weeks off to promote.

They'll likely wait to start until after D23 Expo (and or Comic Con) in July if most of the cast attends. Then will work it into schedule

they must really know how it's going to end then, and written around the General Leia problems

I'm sure there's many millions at stake for Bob Iger's retirement package that STAR9 hit before he retires. So they'll fix in post if needed

Good point. The production schedule indicates a May 2019 release.

Episode 8 production went from Mid February to July (with additional pickups a few months later) for reference
