If Aria became the new protagonist, I gotta be honest, I'd be kinda pissed off. She's already too mary sue-ish and good at what she does to become the brand new protagonist. It would make no sense for Bandai to give us an already talented idol as our new protagonist. Yes, it'll be a unique premise but no one would really be able to relate to Aria or probably enjoy her journey as she probably won't struggle or if she does, it'll be rather forced unlessseason 2 gives us something she will struggle with before season 3.

I really prefer following someone we never met before and watch them grow to become a top idol. I wouldn't mind Aria being a mentor figure but definitely not the new protagonist.
