This would not stop the EPL being the most watched league. It would not matter if the goals were scored by British / Irish hoof merchants.
Non-English leagues have too many obstacles to overtake the EPL.
1) England has more history. Nottingham Forest or Sheffield Wednesday just has a better ring to it than Getafe or Espanyol, especially in an Anglophone world.
2) England has the best fans. No one can relate to German groupthink fans with their banners made during the lunchbreak or Spanish fans waving their handkerchiefs. English fans are cruel, ignorant, and loud at the right times.
3) England has a better style of play and better referees. The games are usually fast-paced, this is interesting for a television audience. The referees are not perfect, but they're less fussy & officious than European referees. Most importantly, in England it's frowned upon to get other players carded or to dive. In the primitive & childish Spanish mindset, cheating is normalised.
England doesn't need foreign players or Champions League places. The lack of these would be a disaster for La Liga. English football could carry on just fine. The quality would be lower, but the battle for the league would be just as dramatic. The EPL would be the most popular league in the world without one single nom-British player and that's just a fact. Anyone trying to dispute this is coping.
