In the eternal quest to make Poe and Holdo’s subplot make thematic sense:

Dub Holdo’s “flyboys” line (it’s already a pretty obvious bit of ADR in the theatrical version) with Holdo saying they may have a spy, then back to Poe being impetuous etc.

Then, on the smaller transports, instead of Leia saying Holdo didn’t want to look like a hero (which seems unrelated to the actual events), have her point out that Poe didn’t tell Holdo about the hyperspace tracking - thus actually making what he did impetuous.

This way, the actual theme of the subplot (Poe needs to learn leadership) isn’t undercut by Holdo’s abysmal interpersonal skills and inability to inspire the people she’s leading. Instead, if Poe had just listened to what she was telling him, and more importantly had actually shared his plan with the Resistance he’s supposed to be learning to lead, things would have turned out okay for them. Lesson learned for Poe.

The challenge, of course, is finding audio of Laura Dern and Carrie Fisher that can be dubbed into those scenes as replacement lines. Maybe from another film either was in? Or a press interview/video? Even finding a soundalike as a last resort. Has anyone ever gone searching for anything like this, or is this new ground to scour?
