I'm worried that, given how we first saw the energy flowing from Dum into the stone where Vlag used to be, that this means it connects to Vlag only when Vlag is here. Which means that... clogging the waystone would do nothing to make Vlag return here.
(And, in the worst case, might make it become stuck in the Aethyr. Which would be awful.)
Even aside from that though, I have to ask a different question. Well, two questions. For if we try doing anything, I mean. Not just for the clog-the-waystone plan.
"And then what?"
and
"Why?"
Say we clog the waystone or drain the magic or have the Light Wizards throw the sickest metal album ever, and this make Vlag phase back in.
And then what?
Do we just leave it be? It's full of Daemons, Daemons which will either come after us, or stay still there, or who knows. Do we just remain at Vlag and ride out the siege? Do we run away from the Daemons until they dissipate (if they dissipate! they might only do so if killed) and then return to Vlag. Do we just move on to Karag Dum, after returning Vlag to real-space?
Do we have a Step 2 for if this works?
And do we have the people and arms for Step 2s of any plans?

The warp has no spacial coordinates. How many reinforcements Slaanesh can send is a function of how much of It's attention it can spare and how big the gate is, no more and no less. Judging by the fact that it send those demonettes I'd say It is quite busy.

This is 'no' with more words. The question is whether anything can be done here and now.

It's five weeks from Praag to Karag Dum, five weeks back, plus whatever time on-site. Two and a half months.
In other news, I am imagining just the giant goddamn grins on the Slayers' faces when we explain to them that, yes, it's very sad that the daemons all ran away and hid before you could take a swing at them, but...
(The Knights of Taal's Fury are probably hype as fuck too. Fighting Chaos is kind of their whole Thing.)

It would just be peak Mathilde to set off on a Hold-reclaiming expedition, but reclaim the wrong Dwarfhold.
Outstanding unpredictability. Who else would divert a whole Throng of Dwarves from the goal that they've been preparing for for years (and in some cases, literally their entire life) ?

Seems like Waystone Clog is more or less the consensus.

Don’t think of it as dying; just as leaving early

Nope, three weeks there, three weeks back according to Borek.
Only by the strictest and most context-blind reading of them.

Also, this path is sort of like being responsible.
If we leave this thing as a potential sally-port for Daemons we could be attacked from it on our way back, when we'll hopefully be evacuating civilians.

a waystone under chaos control is grounds to blow it up entirely if it's been judged unrecoverable.
Clogging is less than blowing it up.
A Lady Magister is entitled and expected to make such a judgement call.

He was talking about the weeks without a supply line. Look at the context.
Week 1 was Praag to the final camp before High Pass. Week 2 is going through High Pass (what we're now on). Borek had caches and supply caravans set up for these two weeks. Week 3 starts our sojourn into hostile territory, and that's where we need to start relying on supplies.
Five weeks each way.
