I don't see how the earth having/being a stand would solve any plot hole, unless you saying that earth's stand controls everything and everyone, so every inconsistence can be explained with a vague "the earth wills it".

But such "plot twist" (if you really wanna call that) would be pointless anyway, basically it would imply that "fate" doesn't exist (aka destroying one of the strongest themes of JJBA) and some other uncontrollable force is what calls the shots.

Jorge Joestar already did something like that with its half baked concept called "beyond", just read the novel and see how that worked in the end.
