Well, there's been a good deal of build-up for it.

For example, it's been said before that Artoria will come back to save Britain one day, and her profile makes no omission of this. We can take the ending to Garden of Avalon as build up as well since Merlin does not send out Fou until he's witnessed the aftermath of Artoria's search for the Holy Grail.

On top of that, Excalibur has been getting hyped, too. Her profile refers to it as one that sits at the top of all holy swords. You have Lancer Alter's Profile referring to Excalibur as the holy sword of planetary salvation. Fate/Extella hints at Excalibur being similar to a so called "Ultimate Phantasm" that knocked down Velber tens of thousands of years ago. Altera makes reference to it by making a few remarks in Extella (if Altera and Artoria battle) and Grand Order (Alter's second Interlude) about how the sword makes her uneasy.

I'd say it's quite likely to have her as Grand Saber. Don't know if they'd buff her, release a new Servant, or do absolutely nothing about it, though.
