I have this funny gut feeling that we could actually get DK Jr. in the next Mario Kart, returning for the first time since the first Mario Kart.
Like... I think the chance is 1%. Which is higher than the 0.01% chance that I normally give it.

I'd imagine the "Donkey Kong Country" core of the character is still in tact, thus they'd still allow Diddy, Dixie, Funky, maybe even Cranky Kong at the very least.
Though I do think the intention was just trying to make a hybrid between the old and current DK designs to match with the artstyle of one of their artists over at Nintendo.
They made a logo for him and everything (although it was a pixel-art version).
Nintendo loves referencing the past. Bringing back a character from the first Mario Kart is extremely likely.
It was weird bc his victory scene, he jumps into DK's arms, which means DK is carrying a baby version of his own dad, who has otherwise disappeared. Even weirder than Mario appearing alongside Baby Mario, I feel.
