Cazador would have been more involved with the whole plot , if the upper city had made it into the game, there were datamined voicelines with Cazador. As it is, Astarion has no ties whatsoever to the main plot. Wyll should have, giving his background, but hasn't enough. I would have love a mention of Duke Ravengard in the epilogue, that the city is more stable, when he is alive or Will became his successor. The Sharrans are a bit of a special case imo. I mean their endgoal is destruction of everything that exists and they operate from the shadows, but depending on decisions, they can at least become allies in the final battle, if you play an evil character. I don't think, that is possible with Cazador?
I'd actually prefer them all to be less involved with the plot. Now it can get a little exhausting. But it's a matter of personal preference. For Wyll they could have explained his lack of involvement with the fact that he hasn't been home in a while and he's not exactly welcome there. But neither him nor Florrick ever talk about that. I think.
Cazador only cares about his ritual. Ascended Astarion can be an ally in the final battle if he's not in the active party.

They all seemed pretty eager to just get on with their new lives.
"You are the heroes of Baldur's Gate" and for Durge how much they regret their Act 1 incident. A moment later I'm in my romance epilogue with Ascended Astarion, telling him how I didn't take over the world for Bhaal but I'll do it for him.
