It depends on what the WBO are willing to do
Force the JP fight
Strip Uysk if he doesn't comply and gift JP his belt - denying the Undispted tag for Uysk v DD
Force Uysk to pay JP step aside $$$$
Like everything in boxing $ talks

It depends on what Dubois wants. The WBO can't force the Parker fight if a unification is agreed to. They can't strip Usyk if a unification is agreed to. There won't be any step aside money if a unification is agreed to, because a unification takes precedence over a mandatory for the WBO. Either side can call for an immediate purse bid, unfortunately team Parker doesn't have the backing to do that. Money definitely talks & it'll ultimately come down to what the Saudi's want.

Not sure about this. If the WBO insists on JP being a mandatory with a purse bid if they don't agree...that sounds like they are specifically wanting the fight. And I'm not sure the WBO, or the IBF for that matter, want a unification vs having their own champ, especially with JP being the Interim champ.
If this doesn't come to fruition, I can see JP being next up against the DDD winner. And according to the article, DDD brings in more revenue than JP/Usyk.
If the fight does come off, JP is better or equal (power) to everything that DDD possesses against Usyk. Better movement, defense, boxing skills, and even the skip punch.

There is always a negotiation period, followed by purse bids (or extensions) if both sides can't agree. There's no reason at this stage for the WBO to strip Usyk at this stage. The IBF would probably make more from a Dubois/ Joshua rematch. Either way I see Usyk by UD.
