I noticed one guy pounced on the combination of the "turn Evil Celestia and Luna to crystal" plan and saying "the things that helped us defeat Sombra of our world" to say that Sombra survived and was merely turned into a crystal statue. But here's why that is not the case:

1.) Sombra clearly shattered to pieces so he was not encased in crystal

2.) Sombra was defeated with the Crystal Heart, while the Mane 6 are planning to use the Elements of Harmony to defeat the evil princesses

3.) The connection to Sombra's defeat and Evil Celestia and Luna's defeat is not the way they were defeated, but crystal. Sombra was defeated by crystal ponies using the crystal heart, while they're planning on turning the evil princesses to crystal. A vague connection, but still.

4.) Meghan said that Sombra is dead while the show's creators aren't involved with the comics' story so even if the comics decided to say Sombra survived, what the show's writers say take precedence over what the comics say even though they're official. (like, if Meghan said Chrysalis was dead that would render The Return of Queen Chrysalis non-canon)

Fans and comics can pretend that Chrysalis survived all they want (since Meghan never said anything about her and it was done in a Team Rocket way) but not Sombra. (You can still write fanfics though)
