In no way am I an expert on this, nor have I read the novel that I just learned is a thing - which means Disney/Lucas does seem to own it.
It's supposedly the WWF of the Star Wars universe. There aren't actual battles on the planets depicted in the game - the scenes are just fake locations in the Grand Arena on Vespaara. The combat can't be real, because the personas are always alive again to fight another day.
I'm not saying it would be impossible to include personas from a reality show in the universe, but in doing so it dilutes the 'realism' of SWGOH.
Disney/Lucas would still outright own it, regardless. The articles you listed mention that it's all Canon and that part of Rieve's lore is that she's a force user who pretends to be a Sith for her persona in the matches, much like Leia pretended to be the Bounty Hunter Boushh when entering Jabba's Palace in RotJ.
Well the fates of the characters is right now up in the air so whether they lived or died is irrelevant until new official sources state their demises. Hunters is much in the same vain as Star Wars: Demolition where the characters exist in the main universe (Legends), but their fates after the matches is open to interpretation, with of course the exception being Boba Fett with the fact that we know he survived the game's events as he was present at the Pit of Carkoon to be swallowed and later escape.
