Tf is good enough to visualize the position of your robot, it's even better than some arrows. Why do you want display a odometry type in rviz ? At worst it's easy to build a node to convert from PoseStamped to nav_msgs/Odometry, see the definition poseStamped and odometry. Odometry has also velocity terms and robot_pose_ekf only give you a position. Odometry type in rviz display you a arrow in the position and oriented to the velocity direction.
