Well, we know that NPCs can be rezzed through the guild master control with zero level loss despite being physically annihilated if you pay enough gold...though literal tons of gold is quite a lot for anyone in the New World to scrape together. It also seems like that's a function of it being a guild NPC, with their fundamental data stored in the guild somehow.

But the rules for other characters, beyond [Raise Dead], are not as explicitly fixed yet.

I suspect that Doppelcaspond was lying about cremating Kelart's head, which should still be usable by a Silk Hat demon, and the Holy Liberation Army never even got their hands on Calca's head. So Nazarick could have access to both their spell-casting powers and can keep the heads nice and fresh if resurrecting them would be possible and desirable.

Unfortunately, given the way the story has progressed I just don't see how resurrecting either of them would be particularly useful to the Sorcerer Kingdom. If the "Caspond has been assassinated by treacherous Southern Nobles" scenario comes about, it might be useful to pull out Calca and say "look, the Sorcerer King has found and rezzed the Holy Queen", but it would make no sense at all to not just use a Doppelganger loyal to Nazarick for that (if that were even a viable plan, I don't feel like it really is).

From the eugenics perspective, it makes more sense to investigate ways to interbreed Nazarick beings with humanoids and establish strong Godkin lineages. Demiurge, Sebas, Aura and Mare, Pandora's Actor, and Albedo's children with Ainz should all be able to do so (I frankly see no tactical reason that Aureole Omega couldn't perform her duties while being pregnant as well, though it feels kinda weird to suggest that). So I don't see the need for saving New Worlder's just because they have exceptional ability...for the New World.

Saving a strong Godkin line like the Black Scripture keeps might be different, depending on the degree to which lineage affects particular job aptitudes beyond just having a higher level cap than normal.

But for most characters, spending the resources of Nazarick on rezzing them should only be if they are individually going to be of significant worth to Ainz Ooal Gown. Meaning that they have abilities that Nazarick can't easily cover.

Neia herself felt that bringing her own parents back wouldn't qualify, it would be squandering the resources of the Sorcerer Kingdom, a sin of weakness. Shizu agreed and Ainz felt that they had a point.

While the only person who really wants Kelart and Calca back is someone Ainz doesn't even like.
