My tentative plan is to go there next year. I'm in Canada so no border issues.
I do think you might have an issue. Sites book up in early January, and the situation may not be clear by then. But with Canadians not sure if they will be able to head south, they will book up pretty quick. I will be on the website to book the first hour.
What we have done in the past is to buy a day pass for the bus. It stops near the campground and will give you on-off priviledgs all day. A lot easier than finding parking in the town. Takes you to most places, the hot springs, the big hotel etc.
Parkway is neat. I've not done the icefield tour bus yet, and given they roll over, I may not. I find towing between Jasper and Banff has some bad roads. Had my setup porpoising. But taking a drive without the trailer is fine.
Lots of places to go for easy hikes. Just crowded is all. Saw some Grizzly's from the Lake Louise chairlft.
Last time we did Jasper, we were underwhelmed. Weather didn't cooperate so we didn't go up the mountains and there wasn't much in town to do.
I don't know what it was like this year, or what it will be like in 2021, but Lake Louise was really crowded. We got a place to park, but were there before 7 (we camped in Lake Louise). Hiked up to the Teahouse and had lunch. Absolutely gorgeous, but again, very busy.
