Being that Shang Tsung and Quan Chi are dead and probably won't come back for MK11, the Soulnado might not be a threat. At least for now. And with Shinnok indisposed of, I'm sure we're okay until Onaga's return. So, with that said, I think I'm convinced that the events of Deadly Alliance will be considered moot. True, but Onaga's return is another matter. For all we know, Onaga too could have known about the Soulnado and everything. In addition, we don't really know about the properties of the Dragon Egg in the Lava Shrines. Remember, in the original timeline, Reptile was pursuing Nitara and went there, found the egg, only for the egg to crack open and its energies released. The energies latched onto Reptile, which gave Onaga the body necessary for him to return.

It's quite possible that the Dragon Egg can do this with ANY host, not just Reptile.

Now, as for Shinnok being disposed of, this is still harder to say. Quan Chi may be dead, but his Brotherhood of Shadows still remain. It's still possible they may remain loyal to him, and if that's the case, perhaps still be loyal to Shinnok as well. If that's true, perhaps they may still try to find a way to free him. It is entirely possible that the whole Onaga returning prophecy was meant to happen in that exact way, and that Shujinko and Reptile were (and always will be) the tools necessaryfor Onaga to achieve his return again. Different from Shinnok's return that was a plan, not a prophecy, Onaga isn't, which means that had to happen that way anywhere anytime. And for all we know, Reptile is still up, and if the comics is considered canon, Shujinko is still there (though I hope this is retconned and he is still a traveller unknown to most combatants). I'm not sure about Reptile being a tool for Onaga's return. We don't know the properties of the Dragon Egg. Perhaps it could do that with ANY host, not just retile....
