It shouldn't be a problem, there are some really good Justin Roiland soundalikes, and it's not like Rick's voice hasn't changed over the course of the show anyways.
The harder part will be finding someone with the right comedic timing. That's Roiland's bigger contribution to the show
Comedic timing still matters. The cadence of the sentence when you're delivering a punchline matters, and yeah, you can do dozens of takes until it's right, but they're not going to want to do that.
To be clear, I do think it will be fine. They will find someone who can fill the role(s) well. It's just not going to be as easy as recasting, say, War Machine in Iron Man was. They'll need to find the right guy, but they will find him
