Redo the end of the movie, delay the release if need be. The plot can still move forward if Leia is propped up as a martyr. Just don’t have her fly back into the spaceship and everything up to that point can stay exactly the same.
Delays and reshoots not only cost loads of money, they throw off the pace of production, increasing the likelihood of a bigger disaster opposed to just running it as planned.
And imo, the ending would have been much worse off without Leia’s scenes. Changing that would change the entire story.
