Reportedly, Woody Allen already has funding lined up for his next movie even if Amazon doesn't bankroll it. Amazon was putting way too much money into them, $25 million for Wonder Wheel, $30 million for Cafe Society. How much does it cost to film people standing around talking? It's possible he'll have trouble casting major stars, but actors are, as his sister said, a renewable resource. The worst case scenario is that, instead of paying the union minimum to a big star, he could pay it to a lesser known actor who could use the money. Making a movie a year, he would soon have a veritable army of grateful actors who owed their careers to him. He would be like a semi-art house Roger Corman.
