If Straw Hats are really going to stumble upon Blackbeards island I think they won't meet him there but someone else.
@Sasaki Kojirō @MonsterKaido @Fleet Admiral Lee Hung @MarineHQ62 @ClownKinyagi and etc...
If Straw Hats on Hachinosu will be a thing, I think they will meet some weird dynamic of Blackbeard Pirates left to protect the island together with Aokiji.
Thoughts?

Kidd goes to Hachinosu, gathers info on them by pirates on that island but is lucky as BBP aren't there. Maybe Burgess falls victim at best or some shit.
Law heads for Elbaf
Straw hats go to Sphinx Island for 5-10 chapters then make their way to Elbaf for 20-30 chapters, Law fills them in with info, some exploration and lore.
The trio meet again in Lodestar (last island), Kidd offers them info on BBP's move (perhaps tells Luffy that BB is going to fight Shanks and get Pluton from Wano and Poseidon).
And the burned mark character might reveal where the final road poneglyph is located.
