No, I do not believe the Wii U version will be cancelled or will even be a digital-only release. Nintendo has promised outright on many occasions that the Wii U would get a mainline Zelda starting with E3's as early as I believe 2012. Most people bought a Wii U at least partially because they thought that they would be eventually getting this game.
This isn't like Nintendo deferring Pikmin 4 to the Switch after some rumors hinted that it would be on Wii U, Zelda BotW is the most highly anticipated Nintendo game of the generation and it has been confirmed numerous times that it would be coming to the Wii U. It's already kind of bad that Wii U owners have to share this game with the Switch at all but cancelling the Wii U version altogether would be the biggest "screw you" Nintendo has ever given its fans. Nintendo can't afford to lose fans right now because keeping loyal fans like you is basically the only commercially successful thing that Nintendo has managed to do in the last 4 years.
Don't worry, I will stage my reputation (for whatever it is worth) on the prediction that BotW will at least get a limited physical release on the Wii U. Even Nintendo is not that stupid.
