How much of the world's population vaccinated is good enough and safe enough to go out? How quickly can production pull together a route and tasks for the remaining 10 legs or so?
I'd guess regardless of whether the vaccine has rolled out globally that production would look towards filming in low case countries. Assuming production can secure entry to each country the best bet is probably something along the lines of South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, NZ, Aus and some Pacific islands. I'd expect a boatload of double legs as well.

I am not really a fan of this. I like S.30, 31's and 32's format in terms of double legs.

I think only racers and crew have to be vaccinated. They can go to corona epicentrums then and they should be safe, I guess. The question now is... Would all of the racers agree to get vaccinated? They can not force them...

Well, there is a high chance this season will not resume at all and CBS will cancel TAR after TAR32, so honestly I don't get this bitching about double legs. Double legs are totally fine under these circumstances.
I would be completely ok if all 8/9 remaining legs would take place in US as well, I just want TAR33 to be finished.

It won’t be that fast globally, which is what TAR will need to resume filming season 33.

If they do film, I’d think they’ll stick to richer countries that have the capacity to get to mass vaccination fast.

Yeah, I’d expect an East Asia/Oceania heavy season if they’re able to film since they’ve generally faired a lot better than Western countries.
