Most people would agree that zoro would ultimately replace sandai with another sword.
So far, the prime candidate is nidai, simply because of the brief interaction zoro has with the sword and that it is a direct upgrade from sandai.
However, let's assume if ZKK were to occur, I believe it will possibly pave the way for zoro to regain shusui.

Reasons for regaining shusui after ZKK.
1) Zoro would be considered as the second-coming of ryuma, and why bury ryuma's sword when the new ryuma is alive.
2) Shusui can be considered as Wano's gift and appreciation to zoro for freeing the country.
3) Ryuma actually gifted the sword to zoro after his defeat, based on his will. Hiyori and the people of wano were not aware of it, but will.

I fear that could happen. My wish is to see Zoro with 3 Supreme grade sword by the time he fights Admiral/Mihawk, so Shusui even though I like it can stay in Wano

1) From a power-scaling standpoint, I agree with you getting nidai is better because it can be turned into a supreme grade.
2) From a narrative standpoint, shusui is much more valuable of its rich history with wano and ryuma, as well as zoro having spent 2 years+ training and fighting with it. On top of that, it was a sword zoro acquired by defeating a great opponent.

I want Zoro to forge all 3 of his blades into Black Blades.

Forging the Nidai into a Kokuto and making it another of the Saijo O Wazamono is one of the reasons I want Zoro to acquire it.

And Zoro already traded Shusui for Enma, he can't reclaim it without giving up Enma.

1) Hiyori was not aware of zoro's backstory with ryuma, and his gift to zoro. If she knew the backstory and witnessed the fight, i doubt she will object to zoro's ownership to it.
2) If ZKK were to occur, it would make sense for wano to gift zoro with its national treasure, a different sword that has slain a different dragon and saved wano.
3) Gaining shusui will not be an exchange, but rather a gift for saving wano.

I love Shusui, and it will stay relevant in the story in that it's extremely important not only for Gyukimaru, but collectively the whole Wano to recognize who Zoro is. There were three separate occasions where he was presumed unworthy, and that presumption must be debunked to complete the arc.

However, Zoro turning one of his three swords black means more to him than having Shusui, as he already gave it up. Enma and Wado are clearly here to stay. Nidai is another blade that, were it to become black, would prove more powerful than Shusui as it's a higher grade sword.

At this point I'm left wondering if he'll leave Sandai behind as a memento of his achievement.
