I'm pretty sure that Japan named Rika, Kaori and Satoko to their Worlds team. Wakaba finished pretty low at Nats. But, I agree with your assessment - Bradie can beat Satoko and possibly Liza or Kaori, and Karen could beat Satoko. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the US can earn 3 spots for 2022.I am happy Amber learned and tried 3A. But i understand why the US Feds chose Karen. Karen's skating/style is more refined, and she has more experience. Amber's tech content is stronger but she does not have the "polish" and performance elements.
As to the possible World? i can see clean Bradie beating Satoko, and Wakabe (maybe, if she does not land her 3A). Japan only has 1 Ladies on the World team with 3A and quads and that's Rika. I can also see very clean and inspired Karen beating Satoko (maybe). I can also see Bradie beating Tukhtamysheva if Tuk does not do well her 3A and possibly the quad.
