[MCU/LoTR] Let's assume the One Ring persisted to present day. Would it be considered a powerful artefact comparable to an Infinity Stone or would it be relegated to being just a minor curiosity at best?

That's not how the ring works. Only a few select beings could fully unlock the potential of the ring, them being the divine and perhaps the most ancient of High Elves.

The ring only uses mortals as a vehicle to reunite with its owner. It kept to Gollum to keep it safe for when the time was right, it latched onto Bilbo to escape into the world once more, and lastly it went to Frodo to get him into Mordor where Sauron awaited. The Ring answers to might alone, and few are mightier the Sauron.
