The only thing that might mess up Zelena is Rebecca getting bored. Plus, there are quite a few fans who still love her, because even though she doesn't get a lot of screentime, when she does get it she completely steals the scene.

I agree, Zelena is a "fan favorite" so she's not going anywhere, no matter how much pointless she is. Can favorites don't completely last. And they don't have any power. And one of the reasons why an actor would leave is not only because of personal business, or job opportunities, but also unforeseen circomstances (like the decline ratings of a show).
