I see some people saying that if the Death Guard hadn't gone to defend Nurgle's realm, they would have completely destroyed the Tau Empire. This is true? To me this sounds like nonsense. Fabius Bile noted that the Emperor's Children would not have been able to capture Lugganath even in 30k time, and although they did not have the blessings of a Chaos god, demon primarch, and demon allies at that point, I think that if the Legion had a Space Marine, they might have problems even with By capturing one Craftworld, they are unable to destroy the entire Tau Empire.



Thoughts?

Completely no, but I would wager at least one Sept would have burned.
The T'au are remarkable in their ability to adapt to enemy tactics while the corrupting influence of Chaos is nullified against the T'au due to the Greater Good and the species' natural lack of a Warp presence. It also wasn't the entire Death Guard, just those forces loyal to Typhus.
