Future Events Yamato’s chances of joining dictated by her power level

That doesnt mean she is that strong. At the end of the day it's a father-daughter quarrel and they are doing it in their own style since they are onis.
So we cant meassure properly her power in this scenario. Unless we have some explicit statements from them (not what Kaido said about killing her and couldnt do it in 20 years, that obviously doesnt count).

There are 3 different power level related arguments against her joining.
1. Monster Trio
This dynamic will never change, it's clear how much Oda loves it and it was cemented once again a couple chapters back. Yamao is unquestionably stronger than Sanji and IMO Zoro too but that is more up for debate by the end of the arc. But if Yamao is to join the crew, she needs to be weaker than Sanji. They can't even be on the same level. She needs to be a whole step below Sanji to retain the dynamic that Luffy/Zoro/Sanji are the clear strongest in the crew. It's almost an impossible feat to imagine Sanji becoming that strong by the end of the arc.
2. Luffy/Zoro
This is another dynamic in the crew with Luffy and his first mate/right hand. Zoro is the one to protect the crew when Luffy's down. The one to lead the crew in Luffy's absence. They're the crew's 2 supernovas. The one who can stand at Luffy's side as an equal (if not very close). Yamao would play the role that Zoro does as Luffy's right hand. Her stalling Kaido in Luffy's absence is literally the sort of thing we've seen from Zoro many times before in the series. Oda's not gonna toss this dynamic out the window 1000+ chapters in for another character.
Also, all the straw hats needed to be saved as they were too weak to fight their battles, but Yamao never had a "help me Lucy" moment. She's too strong and can stand independently.
3. Crew balance
Oda has the straw hats join the crew in batches. The East Blue batch all joined in consecutive arcs. Then there was a pause. Then Chopper and Robin joined in back to back arcs. Then there was a pause. Then Franky and Brook joined immediately after one another. Then there was a pause. Then Jinbe joined and someone else will soon join too.
In each batch of straw hats Oda balanced the members in strength. Zoro and Sanji, the two strongest joined at the same time as Nami and Usopp, the two weakest. Chopper was weak and joined with Robin who is strong. Franky was stronger and joined with Brook who was weaker. Jinbe is strong and so we could expect the next straw hat to be weak.

Monster Trio - Luffy/Zoro/Sanji
Jinbe
Mid Trio - Franky/Robin/Brook
???
Weakling Trio - Chopper/Nami/Usopp
Look at the order they joined in and you'll notice how balanced the crew was throughout the whole process. With Jinbe acting as the boundary of the upper and mid tier of the crew, the position to balance that would be if someone was stronger than the weak trio but weaker than the mid trio.

What he using CoC and wailing on her. That shoes her strength and he put exploring collar on her that was huge she started crying afterwards cause he tried to kill her. He left her with Samurais he didn't know what they would do. Lol thinking Kaido wasn't trying. If he wasn't trying he would do what he did to the sccabards and fight in base form and use no CoC leaking
It won't shit on her power since she is weaker than zoro.
You think for real she gonna take zoro's place ? Lmao! As if oda gonna push one of his two favorite characters behind a character appeared 30 chapters ago. I'm pretty sure right now in Oda's mind it's like "i can wank without limit yamato since luffy and zoro's feats are untouchable " and here some stand up comedians think she is above him.
Daily reminder that zoro needed two yonkou to be down and even with that body, he succeeded something what yamato couldn't do since she started her fight.
By the way before the last attack yamato said "so this is the end .../ so it's gonna end like this ..."
So she used her ultimate or one of her strongest move on Kaido.
And kaido has not even one wound in next panel. Those are facts front of you ...
If yamato joins SH, lots of you gonna have a heart attack since she won't maybe be in the top 3 of SH.
How many times we saw a "hyped" character during an arc and after that becomes normal. Yamato is basically the Law of Wano.
And don't forget jimbei too. Dude is not here for panels only.

Power levels wont affect that, pre timeskip Robin is proof of that.
And also people made the same case against Jinbei joining too cause he is too strong to be part of the crew but here we are.
It means nothing, Yamato gets surpassed sooner or later.
She may not join, but the power levels aren't an indication of that.

Yamato should join even if she was stronger than Zoro and Sanji. By the way the arc is playing out if she joined It'd be Luffy >= Zoro<= yamato > sanji. But by the next arc Luffy Zoro and Sanji can easily surpass yamato as the clear top 3. All have avenue
Luffy - gains awakening, unlocks new gear, or completely masters g4
Zoro - gains black blades, gains a better sword, or unlocks a different version of asura.
Sanji - awaken his mutant gene, upgraded RS by ussop and Franky, and gains better haki maybe even CoC
I see yamato getting better haki and awaken if she doesn't already have it with the sh's. Imo the sh's do need as much power as possible, this is supposed to be a crew that surpasses even Rogers at it's peak. A peak with Roger, rayleigh, oden, and gaban front lining it. I think Luffy Zoro Sanji yamato and jinbe with the rest of the crew and the grand fleet should show the sh's as a yonko level crew post wano.

End of arc monster trio will be stronger than Yamato no doubt.
Sanjis already close to equal footing with Queen and Zoro king without them utilizing any new world power ups as of yet.
Zoros leaving Wano with a black blade in enma, and strengthened CoA as well as basic understanding of CoC
Sanjis leaving Wano with a DJ upgrade to replace the raid suit, and a strengthened CoO as well as basic understanding of CoC.
With these power ups they’ll surely surpass Yamato who although is currently stronger than them, won’t be for long.

I agree, she's stronger than Zoro if we disregard all that happened between chapters 1000-1010 
Only about a handful of people on this arc are more powerful than her. Luffy, Zoro, Kaido, Big Mom and maybe Marco.
Law has basically been a Strawhat for like 3-4 arcs and he's stronger than Sanji, even Jinbei was above Sanji until the raidsuit. Adding Yamato into the mix doesn't change much for most fans, except for the candies but who cares if their feelings are hurt?

Yamato is holding her own against Kaido and people are threaten by her strength????? You Zoro fans are so insecure. Instead of appreciating what she is doing to help bring down her father, some in here are debating like she is trying to usurp Zoro's spot. Zoro's spot is solidified on this crew. He is apart of the M3 with Luffy and Sanji. That isn't changing.
