Honestly, I'm not particularly optimistic when it comes to content creators adopting a new Antonia. That didn't really happen with Antonia WM, when a group of very talented people did their best to turn her into a broadly appealing and usable figure, despite my best efforts to the contrary (just kidding about that last part!). So what has changed that would make it more likely now?

I'm also a bit worried about the whole content creator angle because making a figure appealing to content creators would require making her appealing to the general public, i.e. at the very least easy to use with any potential "rough edges" smoothed out as far as possible, but also very versatile. That's hard, and I don't think I'd have the stamina a second time. It's also highly speculative. What are the features that will get users on board? No one really knows. What are features that a particular prospective user asks me for, now that's a much easier problem to deal with. :-)

My feeling is that if I made a largely incompatible Antonia 2.0, it would effectively be restricted, at least initially, to a very small user base consisting of people who are comfortable to make or adapt their own content. I'd give her a new CC-licensed skin base and basic wardrobe though this time, so that might help a little bit.
