I've been thinking about this since you posted it. I'd love to swap Dax and Cam before she settles into Pal's, first of all!!
"Memories in tact" in the post made me think that Dax might become a moot point, but I think you're the one who is right here...
With how I'm playing Trill, while Ezri would retain Dax's memories, she'd be separated from Dax, so I want to say she'd temporarily lose the voices/impulses of the other hosts and whoever is in her body would have those... that's pretty good fodder, honestly, between the CamPal issues and the added bonus of breaking up Ezri's "they're just memories" notion.
About Trill voices: there is flexibility! What sounds fun to you? I think any range of "she's in Ezri's body, so she's actually hearing these voices and I can work with you to write them out a bit" and "Cam can't really process the symbiont's communication, so she's just getting bizarre impulses/cravings and weird flashes of colors in her head" are all plausible.
I think it would absolutely be possible for someone to take the backseat to Dax (we see that happen sometimes with Dax's hosts, even) but I think that would be really hard to pull off unless the other person is super familiar with Dax! But I think playing into it being it's an active push and pull to maintain control might be SO fun, especially for the lyctorhood parallels conversations incoming. (There would not be a host actively trying to push Cam's consciousness aside, to be clear, I just mean re: the impulses).
