Of course, a practical plot reason for JRRT not using the Dead further,
sadly uncomprehended by PJ and friends, was that it makes
pointless other resistance to orcs and men on the Pelennor Fields.were

But theoretically you could argue that the AotD would have been
only ma minor component of Isildur's overall force- and so not a
decisive force in either war, and that they were no longer effectively
part of Middle-earth polity once they had made a direct contribution
toward aiding Isildur's Heir.
