That... Would basically doom the show right from the get go. The OP is a BIG part of WoT's identity.

I wouldn't show weaves, just their effects. Show the beam of light for balefire, the fireballs, the lightning bolts or the people hanging in mid-air. If the scene is about the channeling, for instance, Nynaeve's first duel with Moghedian, or a teaching scene, or maybe the Bowl of the Winds, I'd maybe switch to a non-real scene, like when Frodo wears the Ring, and then animate the weaves or the metaphysical results, like show the personal connections to the source and a shape trying to cut them off, representing the shield. What I would not do is show the weaves that form things like fireballs or bonds of Air.

Do you think that the CGI aspect of it with live action around it would make it...look cheesy? I mean, if you want to get down to it, it can get pretty tough to watch....

If they can't even do justice to weaves, they might as well not even bother.
Though honestly, this is 2019. It isn't anywhere near as big a problem as you seem to think it is. At least not so long as they've got the budget for it.
For the TV show....which storylines should be sacrified?

I hoped the whole show would just be called "Falcon in the Snow".

Unless it is a massive hit they will never commit to more than one at a time

I agree with Tom - probably the first season will already be combining two books.

The lesson from GoT is as long as you have good source material, you shouldn't rush production

We're all in agreement that Jordan purposefully changed Taimandred because he was mad, right?
