It all boils down to whether Xytan would have listened to 343 GS and the Arbiter, or whether he pulled a Tartarus. Judging by his megalomania and blind faith in the Forerunners it would not surprise me if it was the latter.
Thel was a disgraced commander who was probably known at the time for the biggest failure in Covenant history. Then we have Xytan, who apparently has never lost in battle, and who was sent away as the Prophets felt that he was so popular with the Sangheili that he could potentially usurp them. Who do you think the masses would follow?
There would also have been no need to ally with Humanity. The Sangheili had something like 3 times more ships and resources than the Loyalists had. The NOVA wiped out 60% of their forces instantly. They did not ally with Humanity out of learning the truth or atonement, but out of personal gain.

The aribter is still the aribter he would have had to listned to him, or face him in a duel, and we both know arby is badass.
The source of the Arbiter's power was in being the will of Prophets. Their will does not hold very much weight now. As for a duel; Xytan is like 11' tall, Thel is like 7'8" or something.
I have never understood why Xytan was so randomly tall like that anyway.
