Dragonrend or not, I seriously doubt that Miraak was powerful enough to kill Alduin. The Last Dragonborn was a hero from a prophecy, sent by the gods to kill Alduin the World-Eater, whereas Miraak was just the first of several talented individuals. He was insanely powerful, yes, but stronger than the ancient Nord God of Destruction? I doubt it.
