They're in toy production overdrive for the next 4-5 years expecting big sales and tons of hype.

It's long overdue, let's not pretend otherwise or act like apologist or downplay it. It's long overdue.
You're exactly right. If a woman is the main Rider, I don't expect the toyline to suffer at all. If anything, marketing to girls in addition to boys will probably increase sales.
BUT, and again this is if the main rider is a girl, I do suspect that the toy line will be more anchored around this "Zi-Q" character, even if the show focuses squarely on a female Zi-O as the main protagonist. Because, while I do think that Toei likes to experiment with content, I also think that Bandai is extremely conservative and married to their formulas.
Obviously, this is all speculation, and I'm still very skeptical (though increasingly hopeful) that we'll get a girl in the lead role. But if we do, it probably wouldn't negatively impact toy sales too much.
