I-40 generally avoids the mountains, but you do gain a fair amount of elevation, albeit gradually. If you want to visit Zion on the way back, you will have to afterwards cross the Rockies at some point--easiest to take I-15 up to I-70, though you could conceivably retreat to I-40 via US 89 from Zion. The problem with the latter is that exits from Zion to the east through the tunnel are problematic and might cost you extra money, given that your rig probably exceeds the length limitations (you would have to be escorted through the tunnel).
Grand Canyon to San Diego: Just take I-40 through Needles to Barstow and thence south on I-15 to San Diego. Easy, monotonous, non-scenic, fast drive.
