I know that park place is grifter central so I went to check the original interview:

https://screenrant.com/assassins-creed-shadows-world-protagonists-jonathan-dumont-interview/

ScreenRant: And I know with Shadows you can go through, I think you've said either like 80 or 90% of the game playing just as one of them if you want to. But I'm curious how much players will miss out on if they do that. And, as a sort of related question, if you have one you prefer to play as in the game?
Jonathan Dumont: I hate that question, pick your children, all right! Okay. So I don't think you're missing out on things too much. I think it's more on your preference to [say], "okay, I'll see how the game will adapt a little bit to the character if you choose one over the other." They get individual introductions and then they get their own questline also. So that one is, let's say Naoe, a personal questline cannot be played by Yasuke and those are two distinct things. But the core of the game can be pick your character and the game adapts.
So I guess you can switch for gameplay reasons, you can switch if you think that you like one of the other [protagonists] better, but I don't think you're missing out. That's more, all right, have fun with the game, just play it as you want. And there's going to be a couple of choices here and there that I wonder what happened, what would happen with this character, but I don't think you're missing out.
We're not imposing players try to split the time. So if you prefer one character for any reason, you can play maybe - I don't know, I'm not going to put a percentage - but quite a bit of the game using one of them. But if you want to balance it out. I play quite a bit balanced out and what happens is, I play with one for three, four, five hours, and then I switch, and then I just play two, three hours. Usually I play stealth and then I play, all right, let me destroy some camps and stuff all right for a while. And then I just change like that.

Tldr; Screenrant didn't ask about Yasuke, they asked if sticking to one character would be detrimental and JD answered that with exception of the introduction and character-specific quests, the players can choose what to do.

Grifters gonna grift.
