Imo, besides the seemingly Middle Eastern design for Zaza, the biggest hurdle for Drag-on fans in this case is that he's simply old af. Those who represent deities of the old in the current One Piss world, with the exception of Imu (aka the guy who survived and won the ancient conflict) are peeps of a youthful generation. Luffy, Loki (being 21 in practice) and now perhaps Vivi. It makes thematic sense. A post midlife crisis mf would seem so wack in a le New Gods lineup.
