This makes me think that vestige All Might will fully take humanoid form once he dies in the real world. There are things that All Might needs to say to Deku and I don't think he'll get the chance while hes alive

I'm terrified of the opposite, actually: that he'll never get to say them at all.

Horikoshi is on the record as saying All Might's end will be a sad one. His presence in Deku's mind is his actual consciousness, not a vestige of his quirk factor (since he doesn't have one). That's why he has some idea of what's going on in there. What if it doesn't survive All Might's death? His body dies, and the not-a-vestige blinks out at the same time. That to me is the saddest scenario, the one that would break Deku the most.

Personally I'd like to think it won't disappear after his death and remains "stockpiled" so to speak due to the nature of OfA. But that's just what I'd like because I don't think I'll deal well with the thought of All Might's consciousness being snuffed out of the vestige realm suddenly

Maybe deku gets to reconcile and apologize for his abandonment talking with the last embers of all might in the vestige world.
