Well, the Lion looks like he's the only one alive and active (or nearly so) at present, Guilliman's still in stasis, no idea where Jaghati, Corax, Vulcan, or Leman are, and the other loyalist primarchs are dead.

Personally I don't think Lionel was corrupted, he probably encountered mutated animals (maybe even outright chaotic ones) but that doesn't mean he was corrupted. By Neithen's logic the Grey Knights, Withchhunters, all psykers (due to the fact that deal with the warp) and most space marine chapters and their primarchs are all corrupt because they tangled with chaos forces at some point. Chaos can spread quickly, but if it spread as fast as Neithen seems to think it does the Galaxy would've fallen long before the 41st millenium.

Also, one should take into account that chaos has multiple meanings in the Warhammer universe Neithen, there's chaos as in 'disorganized or fractured' and then there's Chaos as in daemons and heresy. The Dark Angels appear to be more in the former than the latter. Though they've probably done some shady things since the HH.
