Apparently unpopular opinion (?!):
Having a BAME actress portray Ciri (or any other character) in Netflix's adaptation of #theWitcher would not detract from the quality of the story at all, but actually stands to add to it.
I'd personally love to see a BAME Yennefer.
I liked that too, actually! Had a bit of Yennefer in her, too, which worked for my own personal Yennefer = canon beliefs ;) But as I said, I believe that a BAME cast would be reflective of the metanarrative. It's an inherently political IP; topics such as racism are explored...

...through things like the Scoia'tael rebellion and Radovid's oppression of non-humans. In the books, Geralt dies protecting non-humans during a racist progrom. It's a big theme in the story, and I believe BAME casting could help live that out :)

That could work out. I think, and this is a preference of mine, but I would've preferred a BAME Yen over Ciri, mainly because I still wanted Geralt and Ciri to look alike. And it would've reflected on the metanarrative just the same I think.
