Sakurai's camp is practically confirmed to be Sigurd and Brynhildr. Sigurd was technically created by Higashide, but Sakurai is the one who wrote him in LB2 and just can't imagine the two being in separate camps.
Minase's camp is Illya and someone else. As much as Kama would've been the ideal welfare choice here, Lakshmi was already foreshadowed by her Interlude to become a Caster. Lakshmi also fills both the Saberface and Takeuchi slots in one go.
Brynhildr and Illya are limited 5*s becoming 4*s, so they both have welfare potential, but I don't believe they would show the welfare without telling us it's the welfare, so no welfare on this list so far.
Meteo's camp doesn't have anything confirmed yet. My first and most confident bet is Xalter. With Nasu's camp being already filled, she's literally the only option for the Arthuria role. And she's a Sith parody, which implies an Order 66 Noble Phantasm to kill the newly datamined youngling trait. As a limited 5*, she also has welfare potential, but I believe that if the vanilla Arthuria didn't become a welfare, no Arthuria will.
The Atlantis cast, Guifei and the Requiem cast is too recent, so the only options Meteo has aside from the Xalter are the Salem cast. Circe, Sheba, Abby or Nezha. Knowing Meteo's biases, I'd normally bet Circe or Abby, but Nezha was in a CE last year, so I'll go with her.
Lastly, Higashide's camp is Lan Ling and someone else. Can't be Anastasia because she overlaps too much with Brynhildr and can't be Atalanta because she overlaps too much with Lakshmi. But most importantly, this is my last slot here and I still haven't picked a welfare, so I have to focus on that. Higashide has a grand total of 1 possible welfare options, so that's Semiramis as the welfare.
Restating because it's pretty important: if Illya wasn't here, Kama would have been the welfare and everything would have been perfect.
