Seeing as they are billing this as "the first Alien story set on Earth," I very much doubt they are going to take anything from the two AVP films that were set on Earth into consideration.
As it stands, even under Disney/20th Century Studios it looks like the Alien, Predator, and AVP properties are still being kept separate for now.
I don't think we're supposed to take that part of the presentation too literally/seriously (nor do I think it had anything whatsoever to do with continuity), seeing as we've had multiple
Alien stories already set on Earth (
AVP being one example), and perhaps the emphasis was cinematic solo
Alien stories. They may be going for something different, but fact still stands that all four properties have never truly been "separate" (certainly not at this point) and so it's fair to speculate, and solo stories will always exist regardless.

No matter how strong the Alien Queen is, the pressure of the water will turn her into a pancake. And then the sea current will scatter her remains like Engineer's molecules. The likelihood of finding Ripley's blood samples on Fury-161 is much higher than the queen's body on the seabed.
So, with the power of logic there is no chance of continuing AvP.
That's one option, unless she's fit to survive high pressure like many animals are, and the people in charge of such a project could very well go for any options or explanations for her survival that they would like. In science fiction there aren't really any boundaries, and we still don't know what happened to her, but all we know is she was sent to disappear into that dark abyss. She's an opportunity waiting to be exploited.
