The odds are that it would be Jonson that return, if any. He is the only loyalist Primarch that is alive and is awaiting to be awakened, presumably by the watchers in the dark or the Emperor. Why this hasn't happened yet isn't quite clear.

There would be several factors to consider if a loyalist were to return or Jonson be awakened. The galaxy would be a much changed place with the best part of humanity worshipping the Emperor. Would a loyalist primarch be able to commune with the Emperor in his current state? Would they take the position of leader and command the forces of the Imperium or would they have more subtle agendas? Would the Imperium even accept a returned Primarch as leader?

I would love any of the loyalists to return but it would have to be very well written and make sense in the greater story.
