Now we have the FIDE Circuit giving a Candidates place (as well as a rating place), there's certainly incentive to play in OTB events

So far as I’m aware there is now no high level over the board tournament until Norway Chess in late May.
There's a list here. The next event they have, other than the German team championship, is the Dusseldorf WR Chess Masters, with Nepomniachtchi, Giri, So, Aronian, Duda, Gukesh, Abdusattorov, Keymer, Praggnanandhaa and Esipenko, starting on 15 February.
Well, if you define "high level OTB chess" narrowly enough.....
