The limit to regulars is money, availability, etc. With a new soft reboot, it's likely not wise to make regulars out of everybody and it doesn't mean a lot as we had a few 1 season regulars, so it's pretty frugal to keep some as recurring (like Robin was a regular and we saw him every now and then. Belle was a regular and she spent like half of a few seasons asleep, offscreen, or worse). I don't think they are in a rush for regulars.

I didn't expect Tiana to become a regular before the show actually aired in case they wanted to see audience reaction, but I guess they were satisfied. The others were said to be potential to being bumped up, but probably not at this time.
