I’d vote to rejoin, Euro and all. The overall benefit is worth it.
But the EU members would certainly have something to say about it. While I would expect Germany to welcome us back, France may well veto.
That alone makes rejoin discussion feel somewhat premature. The path to rejoining the EU has not been cleared yet. It will be a long time yet until that becomes a possibility.
They’d do what the EU always does, split off in to groups of Yes and No, and use that to drive a better negotiation position.
I see no practical reason why France, or any other net contributor, would object to another net contributor joining, as long as all of the UK’s historic exceptions were removed of course.
It would be a negotiation. Neither side would get everything they wanted. Though the UK would be the weaker party. When the successful negotiations would announced, it would be the value of both parties. I don’t say currencies, as the pound may be the high price we pay.

That isn’t to say it would be quick, or easy.
