Even if this theory were correct, not much could be done to expand on it other than to reveal it (like in a DLC). This might allow players to kill Parthurnax, had they not done so prior, but unfortunately, as interesting as the theory is, not much can happen since Parthurnax was killable. On a side note, i believe the blades would NOT cease to exist, and thus they would pose the only threat. If, however, the dragonborn sided with the Greybeards, the blades would still be useless, and would be little more than highly trained soldiers. In other words: the blades won't cease to exist, especially with the weakening of the thalmor in Skyrim, but they would not stand a chance against an army of Dragons, or Thu'um wielding men. On another side note, i believe Parthurnax may wish to persist the order of the greybeards, to have his own little force of thu'um wielding juggernauts to do his bidding, but it could backfire.
