Yeah, they had already switched up a few, and I do know a lot of folks liked Fuuka's later VA better than her earlier one. That said, yeah, it might not be a terrible idea to further differentiate characters within the series who currently have the same VA (Aigis and Nanako, Yosuke and P3MC).
Dragon Age did something similar when they recast a DLC character (Anders) from the first game as a main party member for the second, and gave him a new voice actor to go with the expanded role. And they're probably glad they did, as the actor they originally cast (who is better known for voicing a different character in DA, Cullen) went hardcore controversial a few years back (i.e., making an hour-long YouTube video in character as Cullen to decry cancel culture, talk about how the evil feminists were destroying our culture, why can't men be men anymore, etc. etc...it was incredibly cringe and ensured the company will never give him work again).
