Lets break the scene down.
Izo says they found out a few years after it happened. Hence it they had to find out a few years before the scene. Whitebeard is clearly healthier than stronger at that point than he ever was in marineford. Maybe not primebeard but close. Marco confirms they were considering it several times but didn't because of the sacrifices. Ace then asks to be sent ALONE. The sacrifices being Whitebeard crew mates, not Wano. As Wano is being occupied. No matter how you look at the scene its pretty clear, Whitebeard, even one closer to his prime than Marineford viewed Kaido as powerful enough to not attack.
Now some of you will argue Oden was a case of revenge, while they were going to rescue Ace but
Unstoppable is the name of the chapter itself. Garp who knows Whitebeard personally doesnt think the war can be stopped even if Ace is alive. Whitebeard attacked MF and would have if Ace were dead or alive. Proof? Storywise why not just kill Ace in that weeklong span they had him. Why signal you are going to execute Ace and not just execute him and have WB not attack
So didn't Roger avoid Big Mom? Funny how to two elder Yonko are the only people WB and Roger avoides.
Add in the entirety of Marineford backing down from Shanks and lol its pretty clear yonko>> admirals.
And that is a fruitless Yonko
So anyone, anyone claiming white beard didn't attack Kaido because he doesn't risk his kids for revenge has gone in serious headcanon mode.
