Beyond his status as heir to the Kozuki, the symbol of the rebellion, and future Shogun of Wano, Momonosuke is an extremely big deal. He's someone that's very important.
His name means "second to none":
Momonosuke is peerless.
He was able to hear the voice of Zunisha and command it:
Luffy could hear something, but not as clearly as Momonosuke and he could not communicate with Zunisha.
In Chapter 1014, Momonosuke also began to hear voices again:
He seems to possess the ability to hear the "voice of all things", and at a level far beyond what Luffy possesses.
Either through his ability to hear the voice of all things or observation haki, he could monitor the events of the Rooftop from Onigashima's basement:
Oden himself believed him to be exceptionally important. This is shown through Yamato.
Yamato read Oden's journal and made it her bible:
Momonosuke is someone so important that she would lay down her life for him:
Per what she read in Oden's journal, he's the one that shall guide the world to its dawn:
She reiterates that his life is the top priority:
Upon learning of his importance, Momonosuke himself expresses that same sentiment that he cannot be allowed to die:
I think Luffy is Joy Boy, and I feel like Momo is a little too important to be an Ancient Weapon (as Paradoxical as that may seem). If Momo were to be an Ancient Weapon it would be Uranus (Pluton is a battleship and Shirahoshi is Poseidon), and giving its connection to the sky, I'm not sure it would fit (though I guess Momonosuke is a dragon).
I'm voting for Ancient Weapon as none of the other options (Joy Boy/Ryuma) feels compelling, I think those two particular figures reincarnated in Luffy and Zoro.
Edit
I've changed my mind. @dizzy2341 convinced me that the reason Momonosuke must survive no matter what is due to being a Kozuki.
Oden about himself:
Yamato about Momonosuke:
The language is exactly the same. So I think that guiding the world to the Dawn is something that has to do with being heir to the Kozuki.

Oden about himself:
Oden said:
It is imperative that I survive.
Yamato about Momonosuke:
Yamato said:
It is imperative that you survive.
The language is exactly the same. So I think that guiding the world to the Dawn is something that has to do with being heir to the Kozuki.
