Is this an English work? No.
Does the context perhaps justify the work to be in English (e.g. how Metal Gear is a Japanese work, but the characters are American)? No, because it takes place in Japan, which is a very important plot point.
If I was born in a primarily English country or if the dub was in the same quality but in German instead (even more of a rarity than a good English dub), I might have reconsidered though. I'd probably still go with Japanese dub though.
Well, as long as the Japanese dub can still be selected, and for the new extra material as well, then there's no problem.

What this is going to be is a free update to the Steam release, similar to the patch that provides the voices, sprites, and CGs from the PS3 version.

From what I could gather in the Reddit Q&A, this has been in the works for two years now, and the one(s) in charge only half-jokingly asked permission to go through with it.
On that note, the video preview is actually a sample of a free audiobook called "Voices of Rokkenjima" that will be produced alongside the English dub for the VN. Like the remakes, only the dialogue will be voiced in the games, not the narration or internal monologues.
