At the moment Sanji doesn’t have CoC. Oda could change this but assuming he doesn’t, the only way forward for Sanji is for Oda to expand on his science powers and his power of love.
I don’t think the RS is gone forever. Rather I simply think Oda chose not to give it to Sanji in wano to prevent him from either becoming too strong or becoming over reliant on it.
The fact is however, there is really no way for Sanji to compete against the gorosei unless he has something like the RS.
The issue with the judge RS is that it was activating his Germa genes and Sanji didn’t want to lose his emotions and become heartless.
The suit in or itself wasn’t the problem. It was the fact it came from Judge. I think Franky or Vegapunk will make Sanji an improved RS.
One functionality of the original RS was that it was fire proof. I think Sanji’s new RS will take this functionality and maximize it. By equipping himself with powerful heat protection, Sanji will be able to increase the heat load he exerts on his legs. We saw how getting the exoskeleton allowed him to create IJ.
Similarly, Sanji’s next RS will allow him to evolve IJ into something even more powerful. I could also see it allowing Sanji to use his heat in new ways. Perhaps gaining fire blasts or laser beams.
In any case, I think such a power up will likely be a necessity for Sanji to reach the top tiers. If Sanji never gets ACoC, and it’s really debatable if he will, he will need to get some other special power to deal with top tiers. A tech boost that enables him to maximize his heat could be a viable power up.
