Even if the Ancients were restored, they wouldn't be the people the Ascians want back.
I bolded the part that I think is most relevant here, that being the word "restored". The Amaurotines didn't die and return to the Lifestream, they were sacrificed and absorbed into Zodiark, and we have seen that Elidibus was able to extract his soul from Zodiark. This is far different from the case with Lakshmi where the daughter had died and returned to the Lifestream. Once the soul is in the Lifestream, it's gone, only coming back out when it's reincarnated. I think it's likely that Zodiark could restore the souls of the sacrificed Amaurotines since he actually has them, although whether or not he's willing to do so is up in the air since we don't know much about his personality.
