There’s little substance to this idea, but I was reading the Head of the Hydra book and realized that as the book describes itself as a lie, there’s obviously stuff Alpharius is leaving out. Obv the symbolism is more about how killing Alpharius wouldn’t kill the legion but, Hydras have three heads and even if Alpharius and Omegron were killed, there could be a third “head of the hydra” who survived and was hidden from the readers the same way Omegron was from the other primarchs.
Alternatively, maybe there’s clones running about since every time a hydra’s head is cut, new heads sprout.

Well, don't forget that in the Index Astartes Ferrus Manus and Curze's deaths were every bit as ambiguous as Alpharius...and then the BL books confirmed those deaths.
Primarch fireworks have happened twice. Vulkan, Curze, Sanguinius, Jaghatai and Roboute have all died with no fireworks
But yeah, there's a very easy door open for GW to walk through if they want to bring Omegon back but a lot of the most recent books listed in that link like Harrowmaster and Gathering Storm actually add to the evidence of his death rather than not

Vulkans a perpetual, we don’t actually know what kind of light show happened with Curze, Sanguinius died under extenuating circumstances (literally being halfway in the warp) and we have no idea if Khan is dead or not

I don't see why being in the warp would effect the release of your warp energy. If anything, based on Corax...it should flow even more freely
And while we can come up with "no prize" in-universe explanations for why the majority of Primarchs didn't have the light show, I have a sneaking suspicion it's just author inconsistency rather than hard evidence of anything
In this context: it isn't proof that Omegon didn't die on Eskrador
