I actually have and have done both workouts. The Glutes and Core one does have cardio exercises which I expect you would need to modify so this one might be one to consider down the road but maybe not now. The Total Body workout doesn't have any cardio in it and I don't recall any jumping moves that were absolutely necessary to do the moves. However, you might have an issue with putting constant weight on your foot so there are squat type moves and many (if not most) moves are done standing.
I agree with Cheryl's idea to check out the comments on Cathe's forum, but I don't agree with posting that the workouts are high impact without actually doing them herself. ETA: Jeannine was posting at the same time and she expressed it much better the point I was trying to make about weight bearing than I did!

I have a calf strain to work around and had no problem with modifying out any impact and didn't aggravate my calf.
How are you with the ability to do single leg moves like rear lunges and single leg hip hinges? Does standing with a band underneath your foot feel ok? Also, how are you in balancing your weight on floor work where three limbs are in contact while the other is in the air? I remember having to watch all that and was fine but, like I said, it's my calf, not my foot.

bfit - i have another comment that might help you regarding your foot.
i did the TB workout with the long band entirely barefoot, but if you decide to keep yours, i'd suggest doing it with shoes, something with a moderately solid sole in your case given your injury. in fact, it might really minimize any strain on your foot. there is a move where Cathe does calf raises, band underneath balls of both feet, and goes up and down. you could do this by not going as high and contracting your calves. this might even strengthen your plantaar. you could do it without the band (just drop it near you) too given your situation.
