If Dan Feng is able to compete in any martial capability with Jingliu, he's fit for the Wardance.
...
If Dan Feng was an egg or crawling toddler, Jingliu wouldn't be competing in any capacity with him.
We don't have the timing of these events. As long as there's the possibility of the Wardance happening pre-Quintet, then there's the possibility of 丹枫 being an egg when the Wardance was happening.
Whether 丹枫 was equal to 镜流 martial ability-wise doesn't affect the timing. That tangent was me expressing surprise at the conclusion that 丹枫 was able to hold his own against 镜流 during the early years of the Quintet.
As I've said before, it's far more likely that 丹枫 foisted the job off onto 景元. There's a very slim possibility that Wardance happened before Quintet formed. Like it's not been completely shut down as a possibility, just very unlikely at this rate. Much like shota!景元 during Quintet era is becoming more and more likely. Canon hasn't outright stated this is the case, but it's heavily implied in patch 2.5.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we get outright confirmation that 景元 was actually super young for most of the Quintet era and ret-conning the 玄黄 PV scene of adult!景元 drinking with the group, since it seems the writers are writing whatever the fanbase wants to see (up to a point - clearly canonizing BL is a no go) and the fanbase seems to really have their hearts set on 景元 being the youngest and the baby of the group.
