It seems like a terrible waste of a perfectly good ship just to leave it as a museum piece. (Especially one that still has a lot of life in her.)
Retcon?

Letting a piece of space exploration history go off and get blowed up would be a waste. And you can build ten new spaceships for free anyway. Post-scarcity!
Here's a nice look at Voyager-J, from the Discovery season 3 poster
The Voyager-J is now a "Janeway Class" ship:

I got it from the offical Star Trek twitter just after the season ended.
I have to say that overall I like the design of the future Intrepid class, but I'm not really a fan of all the disconnected bots and bobs. What's wrong with connecting the primary and secondary hulls? I know it looks more future-y that way (or in Mom's words from Futurama, it's more "science fiction-y"), but as an overall aesthetic I'm not super into it. Disconnected nacelles? Fine. Disconnected everything? Ehh...
*bits and bobs

Fascinating twist in the newest Discovery episodeWhich indicates the Voyager-J seen in "Die Trying" may be the very same ship Janeway commanded, but with 10 generations of refits.Discovery gets a 31st century tech upgrade, and the new registry number NCC-1031-A to go with it
That was just because of a legal technicality.
In the 32nd century (DSC's current time), time travel is forbidden. Yet here comes the Discovery - a ship that time travelled from the past. How is Starfleet supposed to explain that to the public?
Easy enough: They slap a new registry number on the ship. So for PR purposes, Starfleet gets to claim that the Discovery is literally a different ship, and they don't have to explain away any illegal time travel.
Note to anyone reading this: Do NOT, under any circumstances, attempt to track down Sylvester Stallone's purported explanation for how the three seashells work.
Just. DON'T.

Except they don't keep it secret to ANYONE (see: "Unification III") and nobody's been at any point asked to keep a cover story.
They just changed suffixes at some point post-Picard. No biggie, at least no more than NX-01 meaning first of the NX-class in ENT rather than the experimental prefix it was previously on Excelsior and tons of others.
Yes, disgusting. In the book, Spartan asks Huxley how it works, she explains, and he says it's "amazing! Much better than toilet paper!" Safe bet it wasn't what he suggested (uchhh).
My theory: each seashell hides a button. Push the first one, and your bottom gets a nice squirt of warm soapy water. The second, and you get a nice brisk cold rinse. And the third provides a blast of warm air to dry off. Even those bears in the Charmin commercial would agree this was a better hygienic system.
The aliens in Living Witness seemed relatively ok advanced. Even if they lagged behind Starfleet in Warp drive technology, 700+ years later, the EMH backup (when he left for the Federation) would likely have access to a ship capable of travelling at much faster Warp speeds than Voyager could... so he may have arrived in the A.Q anywhere between days, months or a few years even. But I doubt it would take him decades (maybe 10 years tops).
At any rate he would have returned to the Federation which fractured and he may have decided to go work on some ex-member planets, etc. as a physician. Or he could have been nabbed by the Emerald Chain.
At any rate, why are we eliminating the possibility of the original EMH making an appearance and he would be in charge of the Voyager-J?

Hmm... Shouldn't that be the V y g r-J?
