Elrond couldn't have known what would have resulted if he had let Isildur leave with the ring.

I don't know about that, the ring seems to have a "universal" effect on people. Elrond probably expected Isildur to be wise and chuck the ring in, but in a suprising and idiodic move Isildur kept the ring. Elrond did have to use to use foresight or a palantir here for "sadly now there can be but one outcome." Elrond knew things were going to just get worse as I think anyone would with a proper thinking session.
