Well, if we assume that Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency occured at the same point in the timeline as they do in the series, and it took DIO another 30 years to be discovered and hoisted out of the ocean, it would mean that Joseph is likely already dead or too crippled to go on another adventure, which sorta throws a spanner into the works here because Jotaro discovering the nature of Stands and finding out about DIO was because of Joseph and Avdol.
