The primarchs may not be able to keep the Ecclesiarchy around for long, but that doesn't imply they need to uproute the Imperium in order to elimiate the Ecclesiarchy in a civil war, I believe they could do it subtly and put puppets to the Primarchs in the highest ranks of the Ecclesiarchy, and then, slowly the Ecclesiarchy will bend to the will of the Primarchs. The primarchs may then be able to bring back the Imperial Truth (although the Inqusition and knowledge of Chaos' existance will still need to be kept in the hands of the most trustable). But if none of this works, then a civil war will simply happen and destroy the Imperium. Prompting the Primarchs to create a new one. But we must keep in mind that the Imperial Truth never did much to prevent rebelions and corruption by Chaos, not to the extent the Imperial Creed can.
