I'm pretty sure Piccolo straight up kidnaps Gohan.

Well, Gohan was still alive and Piccolo had helped them "save" the world rather than conquer it.

Eight years isn't a whole lot of time to trust your infant son to the man whose father you PUNCHED A HOLE THROUGH.

I mean, if Gohan ever mentioned that Piccolo took a bullet for him that'd be the sort of thing that convinces you the Demon King's son might be legit.

Did everyone just agree to let Piccolo kidnap and train a kid, or was he periodically fending off rescue attempts from Krillin? I mean, Goku seemed cool with it, but Goku once thought marriage was a food.

Krillin was busy training for the saiyans himself.

It was probably one of those 'hope for the best' things. Piccolo was still pretty significantly stronger then Krillin and the others at that point, and he was out in the wasteland in the middle of nowhere training Gohan. If Krillin and Piccolo fought; worse if he killed Piccolo, or Piccolo killed him, they'd be that much weaker then the Saiyans showed up.

They were kind of stuck in a catch-22 and the only real hope they had was just going with it.

I recall that after Bulma managed to fix Raditz's scouter they were able to determine where Piccolo was and had a brief debate about whether to mount a rescue operation, but decided against it.

Yeah, they kinda tried to stop Piccolo, but then he said, "I'm the only one that can train him bye" and left with Gohan. Everyone else knew they'd get their rear end kicked if they tried to stop him, so they didn't chase him. I think Kami reassured them that it'd be alright and it was the best option, so no one tried to rescue Gohan (and they just tried to avoid telling ChiChi about it instead).

Come to think of it, I only recently watched that saga, and can't remember what even happened with Chi Chi, and if Krillin even ended up telling her about Goku/Gohan when he went to her house.

He didn't. He told them that "they'd be late", instead of "your husband is dead and your son was kidnapped by literally the devil's son". He returned to Kame House, in which he decided to send a letter instead, but before he could do that Chichi and Ox King got to Kame House and they were forced to tell them the truth.

Still, if Electric Blue Super Saiyan ends up being a thing, oh well.

I apologize m'goonlady.

But seriously if that actually occurs I will never stop laughing. What I really want is for them to keep getting thinner, like Goku dropped a few pounds in SSG, so I want him to drop a few more in Super Saiyan 6, then a few more in 7, until he's just a crude stick figure drawing with ridiculous hair

Turles maybe(assuming he got some sort of offscreen powerup to be close enough to Broly for them to properly fuse, which knowing Heroes isn't that unlikely, heck I'm still surprised they haven't done something silly like SSJ Turles)

Also anyone else find it weird that they've pretty much not touched pre-Frieza content from DBZ proper(as in not from a Movie) in Heroes, at least going by the little animated things they make(well Zarbon and Dodoria show up once but that's as part of a Bardock thing so it doesn't really count), cause there's a lot of fun things they could do with that era as Xenoverse has shown

It was never treated as a joke, it did about as well as Ascended Saiyan did or SSG for that matter.

SSJ3 is much, much more interesting visually than SSG or whatever the blue poo poo is, as its mostly just a slight recolor.
