No way. Not in a million years
What a weird thought. How about Yes.
We'll see. I see Emil Blonsky as less of a Hulk villain. I personally believed that Blonsky's hatred towards Banner/Hulk is misplaced. No support towards blaming Banner over becoming The Abomination. Blonsky appearance as The Abomination is the direct result of the personal tragedy he felt Richard Parker and Natasha Romanov were responsible for the death of his people in Yugoslavia. Plenty of story potential to Emil Blonsky's past being flushed out toward his ties to Richard Parker and The Black Widow...
Agreed. Venom, Carnage, Scream, Anti-Toxin, and maybe Red Goblin are the only symbiotes Marvel needs. When you get too many it becomes less special. Last year they brought back the weird Madness symbiote from Ann Nocenti's weird 90s mini-series. That struck me as a bridge too far.
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
It would be different to have a bad guy pick a new archenemy, but I don't see Abomination being a good fit for the Spider-Man comics.

Not quite the same but one of the highlights of the Absolute Carnage crossover was Banner's/Hulk's personalities at the time (Bruce, Humanized Joe Fixit, Savage and Devil Hulk) all having a meeting inside his "mindscape" with the Venom symbiote. Hulk's head is already crowded as is so they're debating adding him to their "system".

I'm not entirely sure but I think the two have only met once in an Amazing Annual with She-Hulk during Atlantis attacks. This was actually during a weird era when Abomination and Blonsky are separated, but Tyrannus is possessing Abomination's body.
The two are re-emerged and Tyrannus gets his original body back, but Blonsky's persona doesn't quite emerge just yet and the Abomination is mindless this issue. He gains his memory/intelligence back in some other comic.
Nevertheless I guess this issue was popular enough to get a figure set in 2000's "Classic Clashes" figure line.

Also Blonsky/Abomination himself is actually a symbiote of a sort now-a sort of Gamma-activated'biological armor' as Walter Langowski said.
In the Immortal Hulk comics Abomination's remains were made into Subject B, first used by a revived Rick Jones (or the Leader possessing him) for a brief time (as he was more 'compatible' having been an Abomination like creature as "A-bomb") and then General Fortean.
Later Fortean is killed, but Blonsky emerges in the suit possessing Fortean's corpse but also able to recreate his old face using the gamma tissue.

It's Liefeld but the above panels are some of his better work, although this is also the annual where we got hair like this:
