You can even put Sylia on gui-board and have Linna be their manager! Nene can run the sound board, and as nerd-girl she'd probably be happier there than in the spotlight anyway, but you gotta keep Veffidas on drums. She's the coolest supporting character in the original cast by far, and her shtick of only speaking maybe twice in the whole show and just using drumbeats to express her feelings otherwise is intrinsic to that.
And probably something that would place firmly on the autism spectrum, but if so she deals with the lights and loud noise and crowds of being a performer otherwise remarkably well. Eh, whatever, bonus representation I guess? My nephew is not unlike that with his guitar, if not as extreme, but doesn't show other symptoms either, so it's not like it doesn't happen IRL.
Sylia replacing Ray as the military/government contact is a bit more of a change, but if she didn't have the revenge quest driving her to fight corporate evil I could easily see her as an advanced VF designer/consultant or something, and called on to handle demonstrator integration and testing for the SES project since she already had a band on the side Buckaroo Banzai style.
I would expect to see EX-Gear cockpits a decade early, though. Powered armor is kind of Sylia's thing after all, and as Frontier clearly showed they increased pilot survivablity a lot over just having space-rated flight suits and a lifepod cockpit. I'd have to watch again to be sure, but I'm pretty sure the doomed extra from Frontier ep 1 even survived a direct mecha-scale bullet hit and had to be killed directly by a red Vajra after bailing out while Messer in Delta, where they'd dropped EX-Gear again, got salsa-fied.
