Toronto-Kingston demand is actually quite high (a lot higher than you'd expect given Kingston's population) but you're right that maintaining service east of Kingston towards Ottawa & Montreal would be challenging without the big 3 feeding into it.
However, VIA has said that service availability from Kingston to all 3 of Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal will be boosted in the HFR age--making specific announcements about plans to fill in existing gaps in the schedule for Kingston-Ottawa service, notably--so clearly they've got something up their sleeve.
Separate services for Kingston-Toronto, Kingston-Montreal, and Kingston-Ottawa, with the latter two run with DMUs, may be what they're planning.
