I can't think of any plausible explanation as to why the Patriots would trust Big Boss to resume command of Foxhound, let alone not suspect him of being the leader of Outer Heaven. If the offer was already rescinded by Paz, it doesn't make sense that Zero would extend it again. Also, while Kaz refers to Big Boss as a "monster" in Metal Gear 2, this seems to refer more to the fact that he's cybernetically enhanced, and stronger than the average human. It doesn't seem to imply an idealogical rift between the two, or a lack of respect on Miller's part. There's still much about Big Boss's history which is left unknown, so it seems inevitable that Kojima would have to go back and cover that.
