I think you're reading into it too much. Jim Martin's lack of involvement has nothing to do with artistic direction. They kicked him out of the band over 15 years ago and there is no love lost between them. Hudson is the guitarist simply because he was the guy when they broke up. If it were any other reunion tour, I'd say they are probably going to play mostly what people remember them for (Real Thing, Angel Dust) but since Patton is involved who knows what they will be playing.
