I really wish this idea would stop getting floated. The USS Enterprise literally just flew up to Discovery's front door. There's absolutely no way they're not going to show (a) the bridge and (b) Spock. I suppose S2E1 could open with the following:
SARU: Come in, Enterprise.
PIKE: This is Captain Pike. We have sustained heavy damage. Our visual communication is down. We only have enough power left for me alone to speak to you and beam over to Discovery.
[PIKE MATERIALIZES IN DISCOVERY'S TRANSPORTER BAY, AND THE ENTERPRISE WARPS OFF TO SEEK REPAIRS,]
... but that seems like a huge F-U to the audience.
So that's exactly what's going to happen, you can bet on it.
They will recast Spock, just as they recast Amanda, Sarek, and now Pike. Quinto played Spock three times -- why should he get a special placeholder on the character? And who would want to pay for him when you can get someone just as believable for a fraction of the cost?
The other thing is, even if we got Quinto, how would it work? It would be completely different Spock we have seen last 3 times. That would be confusing as hell to casual viewer. So it's not going to happen.
Here's what will happen:
Star Trek fans will get pissed, because they probably not going to faithfully recreate the old Enterprise bridge, but most likely use a redress of the Shenzhou bridge set. As far as I trust the producers, I won't be even too sure they change the bridge windows from three different windows looking down to up.
Every "casual" viewer (as if anyone outside the hardcore fandom is watching DIS in the first place...) is going to be confused about Spock being there and asking where the hell Kirk is.

I find that unlikely.
TVTropes.com needs to die. Bunch of OCD timewasters who think they're witty.
Hey, who are you looking at?
I think that's overstating it.
I expect I'll catch the season two premiere for free, to see what they do with Pike and Enterprise. Yeah, curiosity abounds.

Eh, no. Just no.
And also didn’t die first. Init.
The light is different in that universe.
...
And Nero smashed Spocks Bifocals. He recognised Kirk too. Though I think in a secret scene before hand he spent a week talking to a rock he was utterly convinced was a Horta, after doing some DIY dentistry with an ice skate and cursing Doctor McCoy and his dentistry skills.
They won't be.
And, no, that doesn't mean they'll be shelling out money for Quinto; it means we won't see Spock AT ALL.
I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see the bridge, but only engineering or some other location on the Enterprise. Or we'll do see the bridge, but Spock is off-duty or something.
