I very much hope we get to see Mon Mothma clash a bit with Cassian and the other fugitive rebels, to be honest. On a story level the friction between people within the rebellion that have lived different experiences is always one of the most intriguing bits of character, as shown by Cassian arguing with Jyn throughout Rogue One. It's also a good way to address privilege and the importance of understanding and listening to different perspectives.

And also I just like both of them individually as characters a lot. I appreciate Cassian's reality, everything he's given up or had taken from him. I respect his anger and passion and the depth to which he cares so much that it burdens him all the time. I like Mon Mothma's balance, her dignity, her struggle to stay calm so she can do something, and how sometimes that means not speaking as freely as she wants, sometimes it makes her seem a bit cold. I love how these are two different fights in the same war, that have to be fought differently to accomplish different things in the same goal. And how sometimes maybe they won't be different fights at all.
