They aren't like their Unsundered counterparts, sure, but the threat of them there trying to stir up trouble wouldn't be there if they were dealt with.
See, I think getting rid of the unaccounted-for ones just for the sake of clearing the board is a bad idea for two reasons.

1. That sounds very boring to play through. We've already dealt with a lot of Ascians, just clearing out the list sounds more like chores than anything, especially when even the writers don't have anything fun for them to do.

2. It keeps them in the wings in case someone actually does come up with an interesting context to have an Ascian be in in the future. Maybe in big main-story content, maybe in side stuff. (I'm still rooting for 'Ascian decides to be Wizard Jeff Bezos' as an antagonist for a crafting storyline.)

Sure, it would be a technically reasonable decision for the Scions to go 'yeah we should take them out before they're a big problem', but interesting stories are rarely rooted in every single person having made the 100% correct decision.
