I don't think we can consider her the new main protagonist - at least as of yet. The main reasoning she probably won't is that she's already in Starlight, so she's the same grade as Rin & Madoka. If they're going to have the new main protagonist show up, she'd have to at least be a grade lower then Rin & Madoka.

For reference, Akari is 3 grades lower then Ichigo (and 2 grades lower then Sakura.) And yea, Ichigo fans should be a bit upset because Akari may get a additional season over Ichigo -- blame the time skip for that.
