I am not that sure about it.Since the crave of the Ring was not fully healed even after it's destruction,he would have been more like another potential danger through the journey.

I also think Elves had by this point adopted a fairly "hands off" approach to Men. If they had been going to force one to do anything then Elrond and Cirdan missed their chance with Isildure... though of course it would have had fatal consequences for them and the troops in the vicinity...
