I would only put out there that it doesn't really make sense for Shang Tsung to be in it though due to him having nothing to do with MKX. I would see Smoke being in the KP2 because he's actually a character in MKX. Smoke had a minor cameo at best. He could've not been the story at all and it would've functioned just as well without. Out of those that did have cameos though, I'd take Kabal or Nightwolf over Smoke any day. Plus he already has a nonplayable role as a faction kill for the Lin Kuei. Okay, I think you might be just replacing one cameo for another. Nightwolf barely did anything at all. And if you're going to take out someone who "had a minor cameo at best" then Shang Tsung really doesn't make sense to put him in. Smoke hardly did anything either. None of the MK9 NPC's did 'sides maybe like Baraka, Rain, and Sindel. It's fair game really far as that, and technically, Tsung cameoed too in the form of arcade endings, not that I consider him more likely than the others.

The Smoke reference was my point. Yeah, the revenants did hardly anything but at least they were in the story mode. But yeah, you do make a point in saying that Tsung was in the arcade endings too but then so was Daegon, Jade, Shujinko, and Taven. But I think I see your point anyway. I too miss Shang Tsung but I just don't think he belongs in this game. Not even from the start unless he was going to be a revenant but it's way too late for that.
