They haven't done the same with Mhach at all. CT didn't become required as soon as it was tangentially relevant to MSQ, but when they wanted to build on specific events and characters involved in it.

The current void storyline is only relevant as far as involving voidsent, really. Shadow of Mhach dealt with a specific set of voidsent characters who already made their way to the Source centuries ago. There's no need to involve them in this plot, and if they really wanted to they could make something up about voidsent splitting their essences or something. The Diablo Armament in Zadnor seems to have paved the way for that already.

You'd only need to make Mhach mandatory to bring the sky pirates into it, and they don't seem useful for the current quests at all.
