Blackbeard and Luffy are two sides of the same coin. He's an intelligent, ambitious, opportunist, and a cowardly man. There is a great setup for Oda to portray Teach as possessing overreliance on devil fruits which should in theory lead to his downfall.
CoC means you possess the qualities of a king, right? In my opinion, there are different kind of kings in One Piece. Some are wise, others are brutal, charismatic, tactile, villainous etc. The main theme that ties a lot of Conquerors together is their unyielding spirit in the face of death.. and Blackbeard was ready to throw his dream away long ago if he didn't find the Yami-Yami.
I think in the end, we're looking at a "dark horse". Blackbeard does not follow the usual norms and rules but he did manage to get a bunch of infamous people to stay on his side when they could have just bailed. There is a certain skill in doing that which sets him apart.
Blackbeard has goals far beyond becoming a pirate king and already achieved so much in a short amount of time than what others spent decades working for. Whether or not he needs conquerors haki for his ultimate dream is up to you.
Personally? I don't really care, he's a great character and upsets the status quo. He will turn Nika's smile into a frown.

I’m gonna say yeah. There’s an argument that could be made that he cheats his way to the top so he can’t have it, but among all the hakis conquerors isn’t about training or working hard it’s instinctual and grows as the user grows. What we know about coc it’s about overwhelming people with your strong unshakable will, ambition is also relevant and there are few with grander ambitions than him, he wants to seize everything for himself and he accomplishes his goal by any means necessary. You can say he’s shown signs of cowardice but that doesn’t change anything, it’s safe to assume Coby will be a conqueror to surpass Garp, many people believe Usopp could be one too. As the dark version of Luffy in this story it’s very possible that he could have coc, not set in stone but possible, and I believe he has it.
