if the primarchs return the first thing they need to do is to take political power away from the lords of terra and institute imperium-wide reforms.

first reform should be on the research of brand new technology. the imperiums technological stagnation, i feel, is one of the biggest reasons why the imperium is declining - as a civilization and as a species.

second reform should be significantly altering the imperium's xenophobia. the imperium desperately needs allies. not everyone will allie with them but the tau certainly would and i think if the eldar wouldn't allie they would at least honour a truce.

problem is that these two things - rampant xenophobia and technological 'stability' - have been cornerstones of the empire for thousands of years and i imagine the biggest obstacle to surmount for the primarchs would be, well, pretty much everyone in the imperium.
