Some of these ideas remind me of those short-lived JLA groups, the Justice League of Aliens, the Justice League of Atlantis, the Justice League of Amazons, etc.
It might be a little too 'real world' ish (with the trademark squatting), but it could be funky if there was a group of not-ready-for-prime-time wannabe heroes 'camping' the name 'Justice League,' and, completely accidentally, doing something heroic to 'earn' that name (a 31st century DC version of the 'Great Lakes Avengers,' sort of, only less intentionally absurd).

Threeboot's United Planets Young Heroes (Fruit Boy, Gazelle, Sludge, Sonar, Spy, Virus and Voice) would fit nicely as the LSH version of the Great Lakes Avengers.

Still... Plaid Lad, X-Bomb Betty and Accordion Boy from the Reboot. Spaceopoly Lad, Echo-Chamber Chet, and Policy Pam from 5YL. Estimate Lad. Oh, the possibilities are endless.
Next time we have a DC/Marvel crossover, I want it to take place in the Hostessverse

But, seriously, Fruit Boy is the only one who is truly hopeless, of that lot. Gazelle already made the cut at the end, and Spy, Virus and Voice seem useful enough. Assuming that Sonar is also a bit stronger and tougher than normal, being aquatic (like Aquaman, adapted for deep sea pressures), then she's got some useful muscle, and her ability to hear really well underwater is just a perk. Sludge, depending on the nature of that stuff he spooges all over the place, could be useful as well, either in creating slicks or perhaps even creating a goopier entangling version of his sludge that acts a little bit like Spider-Man's webbing. Fruit Boy only becomes useful if alien fruit that explode to scatter their seeds, or have way more toxic properties than the cyanide in appleseeds, or something, are introduced. Even then, he's pretty silly...

Fruit Boy could be a great villain: destroy agricultural production, turn food depots and grocery stores and restaurants into foul-smelling dens of over-ripe fruit. Everybody laughs at him, so he seeks revenge.
Holy Cats of Egypt!

I read the annual last week, and yes, Ivo was bumping off JLA descendants for centuries. The lines survived because Ivo was in deep freeze, a condition form which he was released for only a few days each century or so. First thing on his to do list - kill the JLA. This is a guy with a Grudge.
He probably hasn't noticed that Amazo got ripped off to form BION. He's going to be pretty mad next time.
As I'm typing, I'm not sure the Legion did anything about it. It's not as though their rules will allow them to press the off switch on Ivo's life support.
As for Spiffany, there was a throw away line in 5YG where it appeared that Spiffany was a major shareholder in Brande's companies. I thought it was a lovely throw away touch.
Some more JLA counterparts Superboy (whichever version is transported through time) Titania J'Emm (founder of the telepathic people of titan) XS Tellus (ocean going and telepathic like Aquaman) Celeste (as embodiment of GL powers)
Wayne descendants are disqualified for using gimmicks to get in. Oli-3 Queen decides to give up tour guiding, but he's also disqualified for having gimmicks.
Shrinking Violet glares at the invite, but then thinks about the possibilities...
