Then all the build up for her character has been pointless. Therefore oda is a bad writer
There's no build up for her character, its all fan made interpretation. Pedro didn't die for Carrot to progress her character, she was put there for Pedro's final moments.

Guys we are at the climax of the wano and yet we have carrot who stick having her own plot with perospero. With all the important things happening now, there has to be a good reason why. I think her confrontation with perospero go way beyond revenge since chapter 1006 and is now a stepping stone to prove herself.
You really think a future Strawhat would have been a non factor in act 1, act 2 and barely relevant in act 3 with somehow the sideplot being unimportant as its been 15 chapters since the last time she was on screen and a whole 11 chapters before that, she's been completely irrelevant. You expect she will suddenly matter and have more than 2 chapters dedicated to her useless ass?

but I also don’t see any hints in her arc that would push her in any other direction
Where does this '' her arc '' come from?? If Carrot was to have an arc she would have been as central or more in act 3 than Yamato or as principal as Tama in act 1. That's what Carrot need to become a Strawhat, not some irrelevant Perospero sideplot that's going nowhere..

Also since she’s inheriting Pedro’s will, why wouldn’t she do what her mentor couldn’t and continue to travel with the future pirate king to laughtale?
That would be collecting the remaining Poneglyphs, not going to laughtale with the Strawhats.. Pedro dedicated his whole life to search Poneglyphs, you're doing just like Carrot right now, you don't really give a fuck about Pedro and bending the narrative your way..

If carrot’s whole role was just for WCI, why have Pedro leave those vague last words?
Those vague words as you say, is you interpretating it wrongly, Pedro dedicated his life to Poneglyph and the helping bring about the Dawn, so he was making a final last stand before going out like a boss..
If she’s not gonna be a strawhat, what was the point of her stowing away in the first place?
Funny cute mink representative, just like Camie and Pappagu but better written than Carrot..
Why did Pedro tell her that one day she’ll understand the importance of the SHs and to keep moving forward?
He didn't tell to her specifically, he spoke of the Strawhats while telling this to Carrot..
Why did oda bring peros to wano seemingly just for this ‘pointless’ plot line when it could’ve easily ended in WCI?
Again with that twisted interpretation, Perospero got there because he's the most competent Big mom pirate after Katakuri.. He didn't get there for Carrot, Perospero got there for himself since he's against Big Mom allying with Kaido, he's trying to take matter into his own hands, he's a leader..
