If we are similarize between Pedro and Oden, and comparing with conditions of Carrot and Yamato;
1. Roger did pick Oden from WB but not Pedro (even as apprentice just like Shanks and Buggy)
2. Oden has specialties which is read and write ancient text. And strong enough to be part of the crew. Pedro only a little mink kid, which Roger already has mink people (Inu and Neko) within his crewmate.
Meanwhile, in Carrot-Yamato cases;
1. Yamato did request (insist) joining SH but iirc, Luffy has not yet given any promise to her. While, Carrot succeeded over her mentor Pedro by boarding Sunny with SH to WCI amd Wano. The chances for both of them being a permanent SH Crew is not yet affirm.
2. Yamato not needed to have speciality reading ancient wording. That's Robin job. I also predict that Zoro might obtain ability to carve a words at poneglyph later on. As for Carrot, her fighting style got room for improvement but as of now, her character-wise eclipse with Chopper e.g. Sulong form/Monster Point got conditional time or time limit.
So, now I believe both of them is red herring to be SH Crew.
I vote for somebody else will join SH e.g. Caribou/Drake

I personally doubt carrot will join, but I feel like if weaker people do join they’ll also get power ups to keep up.
For example I’m a big fan of the theory that Vivi will join back. I can see a very simple power up by making Vivi the lookout. her first shot back Oda put her looking out over the sea on a crows nest and since Alabasta knows how to pass on fruits I can see Pell giving her his falcon fruit giving her fantastic eyesight and flight Plus it’d work with her peacock fighting style. Would this make her a massive threat in the new world? Not really but it would make her a potential for fighting the lower levels with robin and brook
Vivi is an Honorary SH. Her role will be the same as Shirahoshi and Momonosuke, being a 'pilot' of ancient weapons Vivi (Pluton), Shirahoshi (Poseidon) and Momo (Uranus)
