I doubt they have the budget for digital de-ageing, if they have JSpike back then I think most likely scenario would be that they'll say he managed to become human, you could even (in theory) have him still as a vampire by saying he was human for 20 years and aged normally then (for whatever reason) became a vampire again.

Then again... they didn't bother having an explanation for Angel, who was convincingly mid-20's when he joined Buffy but was CLEARLY a man pushing 40 by the end of Angel. I believe his actual age was 28 at the start of Buffy and 36 by end of Angel - but the "style" they gave him in the final Angel season (with the floppier hair and business suits) made him look even older .
