Oda not bothering to explore Klabautermanns since Merry was a missed opportunity at introducing new creative designs and abilities with these ship fairies. It would've also been a good opportunity for merchandising.

You would think Shanks and Whitebeard's ships at least would have a klabautermann on their crews considering their long pirating careers.
I’m convinced that they’ll return in the final war with the Noah. The Sea Kings said they needed “Their” help to fix the Noah then brought it to a place basically seen as a Ship Graveyard so it’d make sense for the Klabautermann of those ships to still be there and able to repair the Noah

A perfect opportunity was when Whitebeard apologized to the Moby Dick, we would have seen its Klabautermann appearing, crying and saluting WB and the rest of the WBP as the ship burned.

Exactly. That was the perfect moment to introduce another one, but for some reason it never happened.

Even the Sunny's klabautermann has never appeared outside of anime filler.
