Or indeed what damage the Emperor’s ascencion to godhood would cause.... The only true comparable event would be the birth of Slaanesh and that one ripped the Immaterium asunder, created the Eye of Terror and almost made the Eldar go extinct. So if the Emperor ever truly turned into a god, his rebirth would likel destroy Terra and Mars and almost certainly weaken the Imperium so much as to bring about it’s fall. But without the Imperium and its Emperor-loyal citizens the Emperor would be next to powerless in the immortal plane. So perhaps he has willingly chosen to remain on the corporeal plane?
