For Mihawk to be the final Zoro fight Cross Guild still need to be in contention in the final war. As long as they are opposed to Luffy, Zoro can fight Mihawk and it makes sense, regardless of whether Luffy is fighting Blackbeard or Imu.
If they aren’t, then Zoro will be going into the final battle already the WSS.
I can honestly see Zoro having a 1 vs 1 vs 1 at some point, against a mix of Shiryu, Mihawk and Nasujuro. Maybe even a 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1. The cool thing is that they are all opposed to each other and could need to fight each other.
If we’re going for Skypiea callbacks, imagine we get a callback to these pages with Zoro, Mihawk, Nasujruo and Shiryu in their place
Ultimately, I think regardless of where Zoro vs Mihawk falls it’s still going to be the main Zoro fight we remember by EoS.

We know that Oda always make Luffy defeat the villain of each arc, while Zoro beats the strongest subordinate of that villain. Until this day Oda never changed this pattern.
Baratie: Gin
Arlong Park: Kuroobi
Thriller Bark: Absalom
Enies Loby: opponents were extremely close as well due to Kaku being a rookie DF user while Jabra is experienced and only 20 douriki less, Jabra also had the ability to move while using Tekkai that was something Kaku couldn't do
Fish man Island: Wadatsumi > Hyouzu, however Jinbe was helping Sanji.
Punk Hazard: CC or Vergo
Dressrosa: Golem Pica had the AoE however, Trebol's ability to dodge Luffy's Haki punches were problem as well, no one said Pica > Trebol as well.
