I disagree, plus people keep saying Kunou won't join Issei's peerage even the author, but never said anything about Elmehilde. In fact the two of them are pretty much the same position just different race and status. The author loves (might be a stretch) Elme, so I think it can go either way whether she joins or not and knowing her being a part of Issei's peerage won't change anything except being more forward with her feelings. Besides no matter what race you were before it doesn't change characteristics after being reincarnated. Vampires turns to bats drinks blood, Nekomata with cat like reflects meowing. Really what changes besides status and devil abilities. Honestly I don't get why people don't like the idea of Elmehilde joining. I personally what that to happen and if it does happen everyone else just suck it up and accept it and if she doesn't she's still be part of the harem.

There are other characters who people want or don't want like LA Freya, Tiamat, Verianna, Roygun, Lint, Benia and more. Personally my candidates are all them except the last three. We also can't forget new characters joining as well. My guess is two at the very the Knight will be a new character.
