Might be risky, but IMO, it's a risk CL should have taken, if they are serious about the figures. Does anyone really believe that people will buy P6 to get James and Jessi? They just aren't that good, frankly. RDNA already sells morph packs for J&J, but I wonder how many people will buy them. (They supported Don and Judy, too, and it didn't do much good.)
OTOH, it may be that CL really isn't very serious about their figures. At least, not yet. Content Paradise has mostly stuff for the DAZ figures. Customers who go looking for stuff for Jessi will be lead straight into DAZ's loving arms.
I get the distinct feeling that the P6 people were a last-minute kind of thing. (Perhaps temporary placeholders for the P7 people, who will either have advanced rigging that makes buttocks unnecessary, or will be DAZ's Mike 3 Pro and Vicky 3 Pro.) The rigging is bad, the poses are terrible, the textures are screwed up. They are high-res, but it seems more of a brute-force thing than a truly high-quality figure. They didn't even get Schlabber to do the poses, like they did last time. Honestly, I cannot understand how these issues would have been missed, if they put any time into the figures.
