Iris showing up for Drasna is probably one of the more fitting theories for her return that I have seen given how she has battled against other strong trainers with Dragon Pokemon, but it sounds more like the plot of her own special rather than the reason for her to meet up with Ash again. She wouldn't need to be with Ash and his friends in order to find Drasna. Running into his group right when she finds Drasna could happen, but it doesn't sound like something that could work for a mini arc behind her return. I'm not sure what Iris could do to really help the other characters out. Serena's story is pretty close to being over at this point and they've already laid out the foundation as to why she'll eventually leave the group. Clemont's story is also pretty much over. Bonnie does have her connection to Squishy and that might have been a way for her and Iris to bond more naturally, but like I said before, it's pretty late in the game to introduce her into the Team Flare storyline. Plus, I honestly don't see Iris mixing in that well with any of them. She just wouldn't fit in XY in my opinion.
The Fairy type argument has never really made any sense to me. Sure, the generation impacted Dragon types, but the show really doesn't make a big deal about Fairy types. They weren't introduced as a cool new type, but just Clemont mentioning it to Ash and everyone acting business as usual. More importantly, the majority of Fairy types are older Pokemon with the Fairy type added in there. She does not have to go to Kalos to fight Fairy type Pokemon, especially when they never were considered naive only to Kalos. Ash having Dragon Pokemon on his team also means pretty much nothing. They wouldn't focus much on that detail beyond just Ash showing Iris his Pokemon.
The Fairy typing imposes a potential new challenge for her as a dragon trainer, being in Kalos where the typing seems to be highly recognized and know could open up intersting approaches from her towards it. Ash having dragon Polemon can allow for some interesting interactions and teamwork between her and Ash, possibly even allowing them/her to learn something new by approaching them from different perspectives. All just little details that the anime could build upon. If they can come up with original to the anime things like Ash Greninja and the Zygarde plot, surely from what little presented details they could related to her character could they develope something.
