I agree ^^. Seeing a lot of folks saying it’s unlikely he joins. Why do you think it’s negligible, Is it because of his perceived strength?
Yup those are pretty strong reasons in favor of him joining. Not to mention he’s pretty rare & unique even amongst the giants. His age also really sticks out to me. I mean what are the odds that him being Zoro & Sanji’s age is a coincidence?
With regards to his size, I wrote about it in the thread for the latest chapter but will re-iterate here ^^.
One of the characteristic things about Loki in Norse mythology is his transformation ability which enabled him to shape-shift so Oda could very well draw a connection here and he could easily do so via a mythical Zoan.
Mythical Zoans all have some sort of special ability which are quite diverse as well. Yamato can control ice, Kaido can use fire, Marco had healing flames, Kiringham can control dreams so Loki’s abilities could be more transformative.
Yeah! A mythical zoan could solve size concerns and I do feel we will get an idea of oda intentions when we will see Loki's df.
His df should involve some sort of shape shifting ability to make him fit onboard.
Another concern is Loki is actually a prince of the Kingdom. He will get redeemed and recognised by Elbaph in the end.
He's most likely tied to Elbaph journey and rise of Elbaph.
So, unless he abandons this and leave reign in hands of his brother and seek adventure on seas, I don't see him sailing with SHs.
This is important because for Loki to travel with SHs, his dream or goal should somewhat aligns with Luffy's

SH is full now
only Vivi will really join EOS maybe
Carrot Yamato and Loki won’t join
BB crew is 10 ale SH is 10 right now too (Ao won’t fight a Straw Hat)
Will be an ally later but won’t fully join
But thing which works in Loki favor is Rayan says he won't join.
And, history tells us -
"On Land, Sea and air, to win...always bet opposite to Rayan"
