I think there was some sort of stage lighting issue they thought would not impact the show since many scenes were at the bar. Check out those late episodes and tell me if I am wrong.

The live studio audience was dropped at the suggestion of CoC starting w/ season 9 of AITF. It reduced production time from 5 to 4 days. It also resulted in a cleaner final product. It allowed them to rewrite or reshoot scenes more easily. I suspect that impacted the lighting, not the death of Edith.
