Chameleon could be a achieved through CGI, but as to whether the effects would be any good is another matter. Since new(ish) Who came back to our screens in 2005, some CGI effects have been great, compared to other shots that looked just shit. I can't remember now, but didn't Chameleon have that rather large black cable up his backside that controlled his movements? In a couple of shots from The Kings Demons you can just see the black cable attached to Chameleon's behind or what i think is his robotic bum. Can you imagine being a director on Doctor Who back then, having to direct with Chameleon? I don't think Chibnall would ultimately bring back Chameleon to be totally honest. But you never know.
