whether i believe that or not though, if maestro is a future version, then no, i dont believe he can be used, simply because there's no telling how much the hulk had changed/evolved in the time it took to become maestro... if he was current, then you might squeeze him in, but future versions are out of the question imo... there are far too many variables...
he's also gone toe-to-toe with Prof. Hulk and not been superior in anyway bar base-level strength and a greater degree of cunning.
also, the way that Maestro is tied into The Hulk stories implies that he has already affected 616 Hulk, and is responsible for Hulk's ability to hone in on the site of the initial gamma bomb (Hulk has a sort of radar for finding his way back to there, no matter where he is).
furthermore, Maestro's statement that was that ALL Hulks have the same ability to comeback from the dead. not just him.
also Prof. Hulk was taken to the future to fight Maestro because he was the only one thought capable of defeating Maestro, obviously Maestro was not in any way "upgraded" beyond just having a higher base-level... something that fluctuates between different versions of The Hulk anyway (grey, savage, prof...).
The whole arc was set 100 years in the future from that period, so... no telling if that's a parallel time now or not, given that Prof. Hulk is some time in the past.
all evidence - including on-panel EXPLICIT statement - points to the fact that Maestro = Hulk, there is nothing in his powerset that is any different from a regular Hulk.
