Got to make sure the shiny baubles are out there or else people won't know its Star Track.
I hope it isn't Klingons. These are Strange New Worlds after all, not Familiar Old Worlds.
Though, we already know from leaked filming photos what we'll be see a species from a previous episode. However, that species was only in a single episode, so there's still new stuff we can learn.

If they do show them eventually I hope they've learned their lessons and use multiple looks for them and not just the DSC look.
No reason for Klingons.
Seeing all the Klingon variations we’ve seen to date together onscreen would be great.
Bring 'em all on!
This is totally the era for Klingons. They were, like, the Federation's #1 enemy. Stop denying it.
Um, no.
Kirk was out on the frontier exploring new places ten years after this series is set, and he was still running into Klingons all the time - two or three times a season after the first year.
The obvious reason for that is that the Federation and the Klingons shared a frontier - they both had well-explored areas of space that they controlled and were both pushing aggressively into the same unexplored areas.
There's no contradiction between new worlds and bumping into the occasional Klingon.
Remember that the model for Star Trek was not really primarily speculative fiction, nor scientific extrapolation, but the tropes of space opera - and that was based upon the European exploration and exploitation of the rest of the world in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. French and Spanish and Portuguese and English and eventually Americans explored and competed with each other for territory and resources and alliances all over the globe.
You've gotta wonder, though - the Klingons had to be bumping into different kinds of aliens than Kirk used to run into. A lot of those superpowered critters would have kicked Klingon ass if the bumpheads had come on all macho. Kirk had the virtue of a sometimes, uh, flexible approach to problem solving.
You wanna be "tired of Klingons," go be tired of 'em in the 32nd century.

As long as SNW doesn't use them once every month or more often bring them on. The Empire has left its period of near-isolation after the war so let the occasional D7 show up and take potshots at the Enterprise. Even the old non-canon novels about Pike had him occasionally tangling with Klingons.
Limited is a maybe. I still see limited rationale and more desire for ammo to bitch about D7s and make up.
Those are the risks.
That's our business.Those are the risks.
Wake me when it's over.Those are the risks.
The Romulans are the only enemy from this time period they can't use without really pissing all over continuity and in a huge way, and even DSC made no mention of the Romulans until the ship arrived in the 32nd century so I don't think we have much to worry about in that department.
Well, I appreciate your optimism.
It would help if more of us would show some.
I don't have the energy right now.
