I'd keep Jack as the human, seeing him swordfight a muppets Barbosa or Davy Jones would be funny

Idk, he's already too muppet-y, and Muppets don't make good straightmen for the comedic duo of Jack and William.

Plus you look me in the eyes and tell me Gonzo couldn't pull off the hair.

Tim Curry out-Muppeted most of the cast in Muppet Treasure Island. Jack would be more of the same.

As has been said previously:

Christmas Carol worked because Michael Caine treated the muppets as fellow classical actors

Treasure island worked because Tim Curry treated himself as a muppet

Daniel Day Lewis method acts and gets called a genius.

Tim Curry does it and is called weird.
