For such unstable warriors as the Thunder Warriors, that would have been a catastrophy." weird that you have psykers  holding a seal and cantation in check for 10000 years of stasis or that you have alpha legion operatives use stais capsules while on transit between worlds for covert missions during the heresy.

your argument might be the dreadnoughts, yet there is also the life preserving casket that has to be taken into account.

alo violence and savagery means little for an army, especially if you want to look at big number operations, otr else the Imp guard would be completely useless f.e. Dreadnoughts become insane because they are constantly interred and revived from their stasis pods.

Violence and savagery is crucial to an effective army. A good army is one which has no problems with killing. Savagery and violence doesn't mean you don't have discipline, which the Thunder Warriors had, it means you are more likely to employ overkill, which believe it or not is not a bad tactic. Astartes are, when it comes to fighting, inferior on all fronts to Thunder Warriors.

As for your comments about the psykers holding something something for 10.000 years, I can only think of one possible thing that relates to that, which is the Golden Throne, which is NOT a stasis chamber, it's a life support system.
