So here's my theory:

a) The corpse's power in part 7 was to shunt away negative effects to other locations, thus giving the land its transmutation power. The Higashikata family sacrificed members for the firstborn son until Norisuke decides that he can't sacrifice anyone for Jobin, so he "shunts" away Jobin's disease so that rock humans, each with a fragment but not the entirety of the disease, are randomly born in morioh. I don't think rock humans are all allied though.

b) Kira Yoshikage was spying on Norisuke through two Joestars that don't appear in the Higashikata records (Kyo Nijimura (known) and Josefumi Kujo (Josuke's birthmark is split like the eyes). Kyo works at the home, whereas I think Josefumi worked for Norisuke, possibly as an enforcer which is why Yagiyama tried to kill him and why Norisuke wasn't too keen on him regaining lost memories as he could be a loose end.

c) If we take S&W to be a combination of both previous users stands, then  it gets the bubble aspect from Kira. The stealing aspect may have been an aspect of Josefumi, but perhaps whatever he stole could only be given to Josefumi. S&W's ability to steal things and give them to third parties (if it can) may be the key to curing rock disease ( because if you think about it, the ability to steal anything sounds like a bit like GER overpowered).

d) Yagiyama killed or grievously wounded Josefumi, and in order to save the information (or stand power) he used the earth to save him, Kira "dies" via fusion with Josefumi to form Josuke. Perhaps it's because of the ability to steal things that Josefumi's body ended up with so many organs.

e) Wall eyes: if there's a parallel between 1&2 and 7&8, the Saint might be the equivalent of the Stone Mask, and the whole Wall-Eyes and bitemarks might be some continuation of the unified corpse's endgame. Although the rock disease does predate the corpse's arrival and there might be some story there.
