I say nay, first of all, the Emperor will not become a god (you did read my last message right?), second of all, if the Emperor will return as he was in pre-heresy, he would be able to directly control the fate of the Imperium and lead it to the age of prosperity.

By being god, nothing would really change. Remember that the Emperor's original goal is to protect Mankind and lead it to its destined domination of the galaxy. If the Astronomican dies, then he automatically fails at his object. The power of Godhood will not give him the necessary control of Mankind's destiny, so it is unlikely that he even wants to become a god, as most faithfuls of the Imperium believe he already is...
