It seems to me that this would be a huge mistake, as many players who love Golgari and Commander would be greatly displeased if they did not have a legendary creature to pilot a deck. This also would make the guilds awkwardly unbalanced. Would Wizards really do this?
She could still lead a brawl deck, but besides that, there is no end to bg legends you could use as your commander, including many that are actually golgari. All that said, there will most likely be a rare legend for the guild in the set.
Notably, Niv-Mizzet is a rare this time (and with a title decidedly less glorious than Firemind or Dracogenius) while Ral, Izzet Viceroy is a mythic. Therefore, a cycle of rare legendary creatures, including one for Golgari, seems most likely.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Imprisonment
At an unspecified time, Jarad was taken captive in a sparsely populated corner of the city. Pleased with the planewalker Vraska's role in securing the Immortal Sun, Nicol Bolas rewarded her with the information where Jarad was imprisoned.[2] As leader of the disenfranchised among the Golgari, she vowed to bring justice to Jarad and replace him with a worthier guild leader.
Emphasis mine. So I don't think Vraska will be the leader per se. More like a central decision-making and influencing position among the guild.

If/when Bolas gets defeated, I imagine the planeswalkers are stripped of their positions. That could allow the return of legendary creatures. But we'd have to be really lucky for them to place anything not resembling a human in that spot.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Yeah, when did Ravnican guild leaders ever not have another legendary guild champion/maze runner to accompany them? Still means that there will be less legendary creatures for some guilds since the planeswalkers stole their jobs.

Yeah that's what I am saying. It's not that it bothers me storywise or because I think there is a lack of BG legends, I just feel like its clunky and doesn't feel like true Ravnica to me.
I guess I'm just tired of Planeswalkers and want more legendary creatures.

So Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest will be taking the role of Guild leader?

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
Factions: Sleeping
Remnants: Valheim
Legendary Journey: Heroes & Planeswalkers
Saga: Shards of Rabiah
Legends: The Elder Dragons
Read up on Red Flags & NWO
But we also have a rare legend in Golgari colors: Izoni, Thousand-Eyed
Also there are a bunch of good Golgari Commander and for Brawl you can use a Planeswalker to pilot the deck.
Hands to the sky

For the great Miss Y!
