A factor that might make things more complicated for some actors is that TV/film is much more likely to have solid re-starting plans before Broadway will. Are actors going to turn down TV/film opportunities for a theater role in a production that may get delayed?

I think that some actors are going to be reluctant to sign contracts for a production that may not happen in the expected time frame. TV/film has always been more lucrative, but at least there was some expectation of some level of pay for a Broadway show. Most recent flops still ran for several weeks before closing. But with the pandemic, I doubt that actors will get paid during any delay period, which could last for several months.

Actors very often work up close and personal with their scene partners.

Have you read the multi-union guidelines? If not, that's your starting point.

TV is now an editor's medium.

As the recently resumed daytime soap "The Bold and the Beautiful" is showing, TV and film techniques like clever editing, using mannequins or actors' spouses as stunt doubles, and green screen compositing technology can be used -- none of which are available for stage performance.
