Wait, if a Legendary Godzilla Kaiju is going to stand on two legs, which means focusing their massive mass on two limbs, and try to look realistic, doesn't that mean they should have super-bulky legs like LegendaryGoji's? Having Rodan on two means he must at least have relatively massive legs to pillar his tens-of-thousands avian build.

At any rate, I still want Rodan to be standing on his winged forelimb and his smaller hindlegs, even if he looks like a pererosaur. Peterosaur themselves are assumed to walk in such way on land, not walking upright, so why not? Back then, design of monsters are limited by the need of the suit actor to fit in, making most suitmation Kaiju to stand upright or not standing on two at all (not counting puppets), anthropomorphic traits which is not necesary in CGI, Rodan was upright not for any realistic reason, probably more to accomodate with human anatomy which is the actor.

As for Ghidorah, I can accept both ideas, but I prefer more on six limbed design, Im aware a four limbed Ghidorah would walk on his winged forelimbs, the very reason I want him to have six limbs is because I want him to be more distinct from Rodan. The idea is also supported that he could be a possible refference to all previous Ghidoras and that KG credits more on massivenes and majesty on his looks not compact-ness and aerodynamic feel of the wyver-like design which suits rodan better.
