Yeah in a tournament where you have Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Bogi, Sengun and others there is no chance for Schröder to win MVP, unless like you said they win gold, which is very unlikely to happen.
This time the talent pool is just too big and if I would have to bet money on MVP it's Jokic 100 out of 100 times, no other pick possible for me.

The thing is that the MVP award will certainly go to the player whose team will get the trophy, and based on the odds and how teams are now, Serbia is the undisputed favorite; thus, Jokic will be the MVP. However, having such world-class players in almost any team can change things, and perhaps we will witness something totally different. But we will know soon enough, 2 days left for the beginning of the tournament!
.We can already exclude players like Doncic, Markkanen as there is no chance that their teams will go far. Sengun or Giannis also have don't much chances.
IMO, Schroder is 2nd option after Jokic to become MVP. You need to win gold and when it comes to Germany, I can see it happening.
