The strong implications of Elidibus' little speech is that he's counting on them forgetting, because he believes mortals always do. Considering that he now is Ardbert in the eyes of the public, Ardbert's legacy is now in his hands, and not ours. Our stories won't mean anything unless we convince the populace that he isn't the real deal.

My initial impression of the whole fiasco is that warriors newly possessing of the echo will be immediately struck with the idea that they can now climb to be equal to the Warrior of Darkness, and have their voices and ideas be equally important. None of them will carry the understanding that, even with all our power, our friends still had to subvert the flow of time itself in order to combat the Flood of Light and defeat Emet. Instead, they'll have delusions of grandeur, and will likely turn against us when we refuse their obviously righteous and good(to them) ideas.

Either that, or a whole mess of new Warriors of Light will do a whole bunch of really good deeds and give a kickstart the Flood of Light. That'd force us to actually become Warriors of Darkness, and sow chaos on the first in order to save it. Then we would be the new Shadowkeeper.

All just my opinions, and many on this board are way more lore savvy than I am.
