There's no question that Roosterteeth could easily work it in that Maine is alive. The real question is should they bring him back? At the conclusion of Season 10, the key point was that just about every villain in the show had been a victim at some point. To bring back Maine as a villain would definitely be a little sad. However, I think that the enormous emphasis on Maine in the post credits scene suggests that Maine is going to be a big part of the future. More than simply his helmet being a trophy. They even used "When Your Middle Name is Danger", and the Meta is always lurking around when that music is playing.
