Honestly, I could certainly see this match happening. Just as Robert wanted back in the first season, the Houses Baratheon and Stark join through a Baratheon son and Stark daughter - just not the ones he and Ned thought. I am certain that Gendry's reintroduction into the story is for the purpose of reviving House Baratheon, considering it's just been driven into the ground. I doubt that he is being brought back for simple fan service.

He doesn't have political or military experience. I imagine that if he allies with/swears fealty to Daenerys, however, which he probably will, he'll have advisors to help him. I'd like to think the storm lords would follow Gendry and Daenerys as well.
