I don't think it is possible that Jonathan would develop The World as a Stand, Stands aren't   tied to the physical body of a person, they are tied to their minds, their souls, this is proven when Kira could summon Killer Queen even when he was dead in the haunted alleyway.

The World is Dio's Stand, and AU Diego had THE WORLD simply because he is every bit as evil and twisted as the OG Dio(Diego had a more ambiguous morality than just straight up psychopathic evil like Dio or AU Diego), Jonathan in the other hand was probably the most heroic Joestar in the list, his personality is nowhere near Dio's, in fact it could be argued to be the exact opposite, so The World couldn't be further from being Jonathan's Stand.

...this is not to say he couldn't have a similar power.

Jonathan is the exact opposite of Dio, but so is Jotaro, Jotaro was designed to be the thesis to Dio's antithesis because he would have to fight Dio at the end of part 3, and this creates a lot of similarities between Jonathan and Jotaro, while this may seem ridiculous at face value, due to how Jotaro acts, but you have to consider that Jotaro acting  extremelly rude is just the surface, because he has trouble with socialization(something Jonathan also had, even before Dio he was bullied for being the "rich kid that wouldn't understand others"), and simply found it simpler to drive people away by being rude(which backfired on him since it led to people thinking him as a "badass"), but both are incredibly heroic and selfless, going out of their way to make sure others wouldn't be harmed, though Jotaro's rudeness front makes him seem less heroic at first, they also have very strong relationships with their parents, while Jotaro acts rude towards Holly, he clearly cares for her immensely, as shown by the fact that he is willing to drop everything and go to Egypt in a desperate attempt to save her life, which mirrors Jonathan's brief venture into Ogre Street for his father in spite of the danger.

Bottom line, Jonathan's Stand wouldn't be The World, it would be Star Platinum, or something very close to it.
