It's an interesting idea, but there's a few flaws.
1) We do not know what became of the other Shield Worlds, the only one we actually know of that was taken over by the Flood was the one in halo Wars (and it was destroyed).
2) Bias said he would "have my makers know that I have changed". Sending him to a Flood infested Shield World where the Flood are only going to be a feral threat isn't really something that can compare to "destroying" the Gravemind and the Flood at High Charity/the Ark/Installation 04B.
3) Carrying on from the above point, it appears that MB is sending John to the Forerunners themselves - outside the Orion Arm - in order to prove his atonement. Sending him to some derelict Shield World wouldn't exactly be the best way to clue the Forerunners in on what's going on. And he can hardly expect John to single-handedly clear an entire planet of Flood. But here's the flaw in your logic, that we don't know what happened to the other sheild worlds, the dvelopers could do anything to the story that makes it Have flood, or Covenant reminants. However, the main thing I want to see Is the original devise that spawned the shangeli energy sword, and how it could be used in combat.
Well my thought was this:
I know the Halo Wars shield world was destroyed, but what if more shield worlds were consumed by the flood, or at least one other one. Mendicant Bias told the flood were they all were, correct? But, I also agree that I don't think he would send John to a whole planet of flood on his own. But maybe he is sending him to the remaining Forerunners to unlock ancient technologies to finally wipe the flood out for good?
How epic of a twist would it be for Mendicant Bias to send John to this unknown planet to reclaim ancient technology, thinking the Forerunners are there only to find it deserted, desolated, and overrun by the flood? Ha, I highly doubt that. But it would make for an interesting Horror/Sci-Fi twist to the Halo Universe. IMO
