One of the big problems with the sundering is that the longer it continues, the more death it causes. We went from no deaths to illness or age(as far as we know) to now everything has a limited lifespan and can die easily from illness, and that isn’t even getting into all of the wars. Multiply that by however many shards are left and, yeah that’s a lot of death going on on a daily basis due to the sundering, in the long run the rejoining would prevent more death.
