Things like frieda goren, reverse flash, danny, the wilsons, really don't serve much a purpose beyond being related to characters we have (and having very narrow usage there). YJ is telling its own story for the most part, not redoing the same old stories from comics. Got me there. Though honestly, I'm still a bit skeptical. I think we must consider that this was back in early 2011 when the series was still just 9 episodes in. Five years after the series is cancelled and when he learns YJ is getting a third season, he moves from "There's no Speed Force" to "I'm not saying what it is or isn't, No Spoiler". I'd say that's an update on the status of whether it exists or not, it's ambiguous. It seems very unlikely Wally will be pieced back together molecule by molecule if he was actually disintegrated. I'm sure he was some supernatural force at play. They may not call it the Speed Force, but I'm sure it will definitly be a placeholder

I know, that's the point. I never said I expected them to be major characters. I just said I expect to see them. YJ has TONS of major DC character camoes or "characters of the week" that they don't do much with. Carol Ferris, Rita Far, etc etc. Since Static is grounded to his family, Frieda and Holocaust would be good additional characters to give him some more personal character development outside of the team if we see him in his hometown of Dakota City after being established as a superhero, even if it's just for one episode. I know YJ is mainly doing it's own thing, but introducing a couple characters related to him doesn't mean it's redoing a comic story.

I admit Danny the Street was kind of random, but couldn't you imagine a timestamp labelled "Danny the Street"? Hilarious! Now that Slade's in the big house, I believe this would be a good time to bring Rose in to pick up the slack as part of the light, assuming there's not another significant time skip. But again, I'm skeptical that they'll even use her because they've already done a similar storyline with Artemis. I imagine Jericho would join the team to help stop her, but I doubt he'll be used if Rose is not used. So far, they've introduced three speedsters, and no speedster villain. Considering how ginormous and OP the heros' forces are now, I would thing it's a good time to bring in an evil speedster to make things harder for the young heroes. If not Reverse-Flash, someone else, Inertia seems more likely.
