I personally think it makes him much more special or influential. Not knowing where the other Darkin are, or even if they're still alive, adds to the mystery. I'm reminded of Gandalf from LotR. He was one of 5 Istari (like a low-ranking angelic being) sent to Middle-Earth on a specific mission to help the peoples of Middle Earth fight Sauron, but he's the only one who actually stays true to his task. The others got corrupted, distracted, or lost.

The blue wizards were doing their own thing saving the world on another continent far as I remember.

TahmKench is a Darkin, he calls Aatrox his "brother" in game.

That + in Tahm's official info page Aatrox is listed as his friend.

i call my friend brother too and im British and talk suave

and tahm is the latter so i think he might just mean that

He also says Aatrox should have the decency to call himself a demon, which much rather implies that Tahm Kench doesn't think high of Darkin actually being something different than demons.

If we liken the Darkin to personifcations of sin or the four horsemen, Aatrox and Kench could very easily be related

It's my guess that Darkin will most likely be reconned out of the game entirely. They're pretty miniscule inclusions in the game, and they're one of the least fleshed out aspects of their lore, which has been getting majorly overhauled recently. I'd not miss it nor would I be surprised if the whole Darkin concept was scrapped in lieu of something that fits better into the world of Runterra.

There was this old boards post from a really long time ago, saying how the other four could be Morgana, Brand, Varus and Jax, it was a really good explanation and pretty cool overall

Well Jax is most likely a former Icathian influenced by the Void and Varus is just Ionian, Morgana is Kayle's sister so she would have to be a Darkin too (and she's not). Not sure about Brand though.

fun fact when making concepts for jhin they made a bunch of ideas like him being demacian and such BUT more importantly they dabbled with the idea of him being a darkin but then hiim being ionian was the final concept
