Indeed, I think CDA hit the nail on the head with his assessment. Lily/Mal and ScarletQueen has a decent chance of being addressed during season 6. They could include Sleeping Beauty with Lily/Mal (I'd like to see that, but I'm not turning blue in the face). And Mulan is an outside possibility at some point. But the rest are probably on the backburner, and there is really no need to bring them back to the front.

One additional comment on Merida's storyline. She was coronated Queen, and since she was in SB she knows of Arthur's demise. So her need for revenge no longer exists. She returned to DunBroch, and is now happily ruling the clans. Of course, she may have ideas on what that leadership looks like (like conquering Camelot, for example), but that is outside of the scope of Once. Like Elsa, there is really no reason to show Merida again, whether we would want it or not.
