Not really. Space is very, very big, I mean huge! And mostly completely empty.

Or to put it another way:

Not necessarily. I can't speculate on whether the Farseers would detect their corruption, but there are Nids that attack in discrete manners: Lictors, Genestealers. They don't just attempt to swarm the enemy, but stay in shadows until the main fleet arrives.

IMO if a enough Lictors alone got into a Craftworld they would cause massive causalities, while exuding a pheromone trail for the rest of the fleet the whole time. Heck, if even one Lictor got onboard a Craftworld, it would just hide out while signaling the rest of the Fleet.

No its much more beautiful than that. The gene-stealer hybrids dont just sit and wait, they interact with those on the planet. It can be decades even centuries before the main fleet arrives and the gene-stealers know this. They are told to take positions of power in politics and military on the planet, then when they are in these seats they lower the planets defenses to the swarm. Like having access to orbitl defense mainframes and such.
