I mean I understood what you wrote.
Your response says otherwise. I can't claim to be a master of the english language, but what I said has stayed consistent.
What I said, in different messages:
"We do not know, since we do not live in the future, the nature of the reveal if it's Tama's fruit. The how, the why, the connections to the story of Zunesha, Wano and the Minks, etc. Calling it ahead of time for meaninglessly landing "flat" is still bending the possibilities to one's personal, preconceived opinions."
"Why does the reveal have to happen right now with the information we have?"
"We can get new information that, at a time, will not be seen as related to the mystery, just to reveal, when the time is right, it is what solves it."
"Oda setting up mysteries for later also has a precedent. I do not understand the fixation with having the mystery be only about stuff we have currently explored."
"If Tama's fruit is to be seen as irrelevant, and if the tiny future reveals are to be seen as unrelated to her, then yeah, it makes sense."
"And it would still play into the mystery because not revealing the "kibi kibi no mi" name before revealing the existence of a fruit whose name was changed was a problem you are creating."
"So I disagree that all the possible ways to reveal this information (if it's Tama's fruit) are under the domain of "close timing" or "clunky reveals"."
"We can get the information for Tama's fruit and irrelevant information for Zunesha's story with the mysterious fruit, only to later on reveal that those are connected."

It's all talking about how the name not being revealed in manga right now is not of particular importance. It is not a problem, because the order of the reveals can change.
So yes, since the beginning, it's implied that there's a future for this reveal. Which also implies that there can be more possibilities than your personal belief that Tama's arc should stay in Wano.
And I am not really talking about what's more likely, that changes from person to person, and also from chapter to chapter. I am talking about what can possibly happen without it being inconsistent or incompetent.
Now, yes, as you say, for it not to be clunky the information would probably need to be postponed. And yes, as you say, this implies Tama is joining for the next arcs.
What I disagree on is that there needs to be a totally different reason for her to join - because the reason can be related to the fruit still, before its reveal. Now here you may disagree and say this is a different reason, but in the end it can be about the fruit.
Just if you are in the mood and care to read one possible set of interactions:
- Altercation with CP-0, Nami and Tama fight them in some way.
- CP-0, with access to the DF Encyclopedia, name drop the "kibi kibi no mi", perhaps even saying it's not a threat because it can't control their minds.
- Through Wano, we get small reveals about the mysterious fruit that are unrelated to Tama - like the example I gave for "Zunesha ate the fruit" and it being about the moon.
- After Onigashima, we get the new bounties. Tama gets a bounty.
- This bounty would be relatively small, of course. Here, Tama would share Robin's fate if she doesn't have a crew on her side. She'd share Franky's fate of helping pirates attack the government officials during very important matters.
- The real reason for the bounty, though, is the fruit, but we wouldn't know.
- Just like Robin, then, she'd have to find said crew. Just like Franky, then, she'd join because she's a wanted individual now.
- Since the fruit is related to the Void Century, its reveal can be postponed to a later arc, helping build up the climax of knowledge we'll get from the end.
Just putting a bit of imagination in the active.
