I have always believed and still believe Jinbe will join because of all the hints. Many of which you have mentioned. As for your negatives. Although Jinbe has taken on the role to protect fishman island. The island is under the protection of Big Mam so therefore once she appears Jinbe will be able to leave FI and go with the strawhats. So this now only leaves your 2 negatives which in my opinion aren't strong enough motives not to join. Sure Luffy never asked him to join but what do you expect? He was all pumped up to save ace! What did you expect? "Aceeeeee! I'm cominggggg!!! Btw Jinbe, join my crew." There was too much happening for Luffy to ask him. And as for your 3rd negative. I think there are enough hints here and there he might join. Like you mentioned, Jinbe asked Luffy for help just like all the other SH's. Therefore I believe Jinbe WILL join. And NOT the giant mermaid shirahoshi or whatever her name is.
