On his journey, it is possible that Sasuke would take notice of their existence and perhaps be a mentor to the few that he finds.

First, the way I understood it, no one has to try to awaken the Sharingan: you get in a life-threatening situation, and it awakens by itself. So it's not that an Uchiha descendant would try to awaken it, it's that it would awaken on its own. And if they truly are cursed, odds of them being able to avoid life-threatening situations should be pretty low.

Second, although restoring his clan was one of Sasuke's goals, he never goes into detail about how he would. It's not realistic to expect a single woman to revive a clan by herself, unless that's something she's devoted her entire life to. Judging by the fact that Sakura has only one confirmed child and isn't pregnant in 700, I'm guessing she's not that devoted to the idea. Sasuke's journey could be about searching out Uchiha, but he never expressed any interest in that, even after discovering that Obito survived. Personally, I feel that Sasuke's journey is more about creating Uchiha, not finding them. That has a much higher success rate. I'm sure some people don't like the idea of Sasuke wandering around and impregnating multiple women, but assuming he's serious about reviving the clan, I can't imagine a better way to do it without involving cloning. And since he didn't involve Ino despite her clear willingness, it doesn't look like he plans to take a second mate in Konoha. So, how else could he revive his clan, with only one mate that he's rarely around enough to get pregnant again?

Just as important, does Sasuke strike you as the type of person to be a mentor to someone he feels little to no connection to? For the longest time, the only Uchiha he felt any attachment to was Itachi, even after finding a survivor. So the impression I got was that he would have a ton of kids before he would ever bond with a stranger just because they had the Sharingan. I do agree it's possible, but unlikely, that there are Uchiha out there. I just don't think Sasuke would be the one to seek them out and bring them together. That sounds more like something Danzo, Obito, or Madara would have done if they were desperate enough to find spare Sharingan. Which actually might explain why no one ever heard anything from these descendants, unfortunately: because the other survivors already got to them.
