And then, after visiting the underworld, they return to Theros, so Ajani can punch Heliod all the way into next month, and ascend to become the god of sunlight and badassery and awesomeness.

Planeswalkers ought to be able to enter and leave even planes without mana since they are able to draw any mana they need from other planes.
I believe that requires more time. It's faster to use mana on that plane for more immediate spells. Also, I'm guessing that's how mana bonds are formed too.
Both Theros and Innistrad have hinted at more realms.
It would be cool if Theros had other lands with other gods, and Innistrad has flat out said that there are rumors of exotic were-creatures over the sea.
Theros did? Where? I know they left that open, in that there may be lands beyond the Nistos Forest, and not much was known about Oreskos or Arixmethes, or the Merfolk kingdoms beneath the sea. It would make sense that there would be more of the Mediterranean encompassed by Theros. Beyond Oreskos should exist the Theros Troy (Launch the Fleet) which I was surprised we didn't see yet. So far we've seen the equivalent of mainland Greece, the Cyclades Isles and Atlantis on Theros, most in only glimpses really or the isles in the comics. I think it would be better to have the gods be consistent, or be the same gods yet appear different to different continents there if they add more area to Theros. Say, add more of Eastern Italy and Asia Minor to the mix, and more taking place beneath the sea, on Arixmethes as an isle (say, a key to reviving Elspeth is a lost artifact in that city), and on the Dakra isles in general too. It would be amazing to have Return to Theros be like the Odyssey. The Minotaur war and Xenagos war could be Iliad equivalent, and Return to Theros could be about exploring the world for a way to revive Elspeth, traveling to different places there for artifacts and unique magical help from tribes, bribing gods, and eventually voyaging down to the underworld which was also an aspect of the Odyssey.
Playing off an earlier idea, would be funny if Roman World ended up being just the other side of Theros, with different names for the same gods.
I'm guessing Planeswalker wills keep them from walking onto inhospitable planes? Kiora willed herself onto ocean worlds and appeared in an ocean each time, especially Theros which was rich with aquatic life. Seems odd, but cool, to have inhospitable planes but I do wonder what keeps a walker for instantly dying when landing there, and how to avoid that.
I love this idea. Honestly it makes sense to take the most famous Greek epic to draw inspiration. A voyage exploring strange lands and dangerous monsters aboard a magic ship? Yes please. You could have Ajani assemble a crew to go.
IIRC we've recently seen planeswalkers peek at other planes without bodily transporting themselves so that probably helps.
