She can’t be cross examined. How does that affect the legitimacy of her testimony?
Even if it’s inadmissible directly, the prosecution can take the info gained from it, investigate/follow up on it and introduce the info then obtained/learned against him.

“How does that affect the legitimacy of her testimony?”
Someone more knowledgeable can fill us in more, but I believe there is a concept of “death bed” testimony in the law and it presumes such a person is telling the truth.
Now, is it discountable for the reason you give? Maybe.
Plus, her “hatred” against these two would be obvious, so that must be taken into account also.
A lot of right wingers don’t like these charges that have been brought against Edwards, so I’m agnostic for now. But the thing that puzzles me most is why it took almost ONE MILLION DOLLARS to “hide” this goumada. Where were they “hiding” her? The Taj Mahal?
