For sure Jani's stock has dropped. He was slowly edged out of Porsche and obviously hasn't been picked up elsewhere for hypercar. Asian Le Mans could have been a nice shop window for him but for whatever reason his pace wasn't on the level of the top guys.
Lotterer has been out of the sportscar paddocks but he remained contracted to Porsche and racing in Formula E.
Bruni is listed against the delayed Proton Porsche hypercar on the WEC list so I think he is destined for something better eventually. Like you say there's probably an element of placeholder about some of those entries right now.
