I say 100% yes new cards and players to checklists will be added even to some major sets IMO.

Just my two cents.

I think that a lot of progress has been made in the cataloging of Cuban (and other Latin cards), but there are still a few gaps to be filled. This is mostly thanks to Ryan Christoff.

I think that with time, more and more of these cards will be found. I have a couple of cards that are not in the standard catalog from the 1910 punch series and hope that someday we can have a more complete listing.

Another interesting point is what happens to value as new cards are being discovered. In some cases an item may be too rare for its own good... too obsure for people to care, so new copies of a small issue that effectively "confirm" the issue and drive value of the other cards of the same issue.

I am always wondering what will happen to the Latin cards if new ones are found. Imagine what a Josh Gibson card issued in his playing days would do the the value of the Toleteros Josh Gibson.

From my perspective most of the relevant issues have probably been found in Cuba, but there could be substantial additional additions from Mexico or other countries.

Anyway, time will tell. This is part of the fun of collecting.
