Don't underestimate King. He is not just "mere underling". He is Kaido's strongest subordinate.
A guy sharing his status was Luffy's biggest obstacle just 1 arc ago. And King is most likely stronger physically than that guy, Katakuri.
King also already got massive portrayal
1. Lol diffing half of Big Mom's crew with unnamed move and didn't get any injury from that encounter. Result: Big Mom fell to the sea and Perospero admitted himself it would be miracle if Big Mom survived King's assault.
2. Last person of certain race. A rare and hyped race that Big Mom doesn't have in her Totland.
3. Asked to join Big Mom Pirates just like Marco was offered to join Shanks.
4. Didn't get nervous around Big Mom and just flatly refused her invitation.
5. Just like Jack is famous in Kuri territory and Queen is famous in Udon, guaranteed King will be famous in 1 of other Wano's territory too.
Zoro's last opponents are Pica the high pitched clown and to take him down Zoro even got the help of Orlombus. Then Kamazou who is mentally sick thanks to SMILE.
Having a YC1 opponent like King is far from "not enough" for Zoro. If anything, it's the opposite.

1. She's a DF user and fell in a sea, of course Perospero thought that it would be a miracle if she survived.
2. And no one besides Big Mom herself cares about it. It'll be interesting to know King's race origin, but that's all.
3. Like you said, she wants King in her crew because of his race, which she does not have. If Jack was from King's race, she would ask HIM to join.
4. Marco did that too + she was in their territory and without her crewmates, King had his crewmates and Kaido.
5. Would be cool if he has Ringo under control, but like i said, i want Zoro starts to finally doing his "my name will reach the heavens" promise, i want this "Second Ryuma" stuff to happen. King may be super strong, but the fact remains: he's an underling, about whom no one cares.
I already wrote my scenario with Zoro vs King, at which i'll be satisfied, but other than this? Nah.
