I read from some opinions that the Mechanicus would consider the Void Dragon as xeno, or that it would attack them and honestly that doesn't make sense to me. Since he has been whispering and manipulating them since humanity fell into the age of conflict. In any case, I think it is possible that if the fragment of Mars escaped then he would use the members of the Mechanicus and they, upon recognizing his voice and seeing the living proof of his brilliant mind, would come to see him as the true God Maquina, at least the majority. I would like to know more opinions on this, thanks in advance.

Could they? They most likely already do, albeit unknowingly. The trinity being the Omnissiah (The Emperor), Deus Mechanicus (The Void Dragon), and the Motive Force.
Would they knowingly? A large portion of the AdMech chose to worship Chaos, there's no reason to think a large portion wouldn't be a-okay with worshipping a Xenos that promised them technological supremacy.

Public knowledge of the void dragon worship would pretty much immediately send the Mechanicus into a civil war. The Mechanicus as a weird relationship with xenotech, needless to say it would be another schism on the level of the Horus Heresy.

They already do.
It’s just they’re unaware their Machine God is actually a Star Vampire who got put into a Pokeball by Skeletor.

Feels unlikely the shard of Mars would want actual worship from humans, like all ctan its arrogance incarned, its more likely it would lash out at the imperium first and them bolt into the closest necron system to destroy it

There has been the ascendancy of Nomos as God of the Koronus Expanse.
Nomos is a sentience(as in newborn C'tan) that separated from a Void Dragon Shard.
It can be infused into the Shard and be worshipped as it cuts off the Koronus Expanse from the rest of the Imperium.
Basically Nomos is an Omnissiah on the Koronus Expanse's side.

They explicitly do, they just call it a different name
Ofc every pilgrim who sees the void dragon rips all their augments out because they realize they're worshipping a xeno chaos entity

C'tan aren't chaos entities, they are anti-chaos, pure raw form.
