When we learned YJ-20/21 was launched from the 9m UVLS a few years ago, I thought it was already considered a generally accepted consensus that 052D would also be able to be equipped with it, given it also has some 9m UVLS.

There is also software & electronics integration to consider.

Yes, in the sense that any new weapon for any complete platform needs to be "integrated" to each class/category/"baseline".

But given this is an offensive weapon and the kill chain is fairly platform agnostic and generally distributed in this age, it's rather different to whether a ship's software and battle management can say, manage BMD for example.
