I really hate to keep hammering on the same points, but I feel we've had enough Chibnall penned episodes to know how well he can balance this many plot threads. We've also seen how well he can incorporate nostalgia and continuity references into a plot... Tegan and Ace are my two favourite classic companions, and I'm dreading the dull exposition dumps that they'll be forced to recite. That is if they get much dialogue at all in-between this era's patented 'the Doctor's allies awkwardly stand behind her like cardboard cutouts while she gives the obligatory monologue' moments.
I eagerly look forward to Jodie getting the chance to do Big Finish work in the future, though. Her drive and energy has been the only thing keeping this era even halfway as watchable as it was (even if that sounds like damning it with faint praise), if someone even half as charismatic was in the role then it certainly wouldn't have survived to be handed over to RTD's capable hands.
