Pretty sure Blizzard said they were keeping Khadgar out of BFA for two reasons.
-
He’s featured prominently in two expansions, and if he was in BFA, he’d be over-used. Shame as I feel like the role he’s played as well as his personality makes him pretty easy to enjoy. But that leads into the next point.

If Khadgar took part in BFA, he’d be with his fellow Sons of Lothar, and Horde players would probably feel like the bad guys if Khadgar turned against them (as if Teldrassil didn’t do this anyways).

Cro Threadstrong approves.
He’s taking a well deserved vacation after defeating the Burning Legion.

It’s honestly a shame he’s so absent, because the final patch of Legion basically sidelined him along with our Class Orders and the allies we’d gained throughout the expansion so we could spend all of our time with a bunch of random draenei and Broken strangers instead.
Consequently, he hasn’t really done anything since the Tomb of Sargeras, after which he was demoted to being window dressing in the Vindicaar’s basement.
So yeah, sure, he was already in Legion and WoD. And you’d barely have known it by the time Legion actually ended because he was reduced to being a mere spectator by that point.
So much proper story and character development wasted in Legion, all so they could use the final chapter to preview BfA’s new toys instead.

I don’t get what is so hard of continuing character storlines through even some minor questing and dialogues.
How hard can it be to program and implement?
Not everything has to be about the main plot story.

He’s hiding Wrathion from the paparazzi so they can discover a way to defeat the Old Gods with alchemy.
This is why the World of Warcraft universe feels so contrived and disjointed, no one does anything important unless it’s the focal point of the expansion.
Or if they have been, it’s retconned later down the road. “I didn’t want to say anything before, because you were super busy I think, but now I need you do everything for me again, starting with watering my flowers. Okay, now about the next big threat…”

I thought I would revive this post because of the coming of the Shadowlands the question still stand.
What is Khadgar up to now?
He seems to be the Benjamin Button of Wow, getting younger each expansion.
He might be entering that age where all he does is getting wasted and enjoying Spring break with some non-human cuties, in a Goblin hotspring.

I remember when I would see Kalecgos just hanging out in that goblin area. With very little explanation as to why.
So, yeah, maybe…
Same as he’s been doing since the pre-patch: consulting with Medivh about how to heal Azeroth. Which still hasn’t been solved yet, and should have been our main concern all expac.
Recovering from being turned into a volleyball head and being kicked around by every Champion who got the word.
His current babysitter is finding out why Cordanna turned evil.

All the Warmongers in leadership positions who would want to force the Horde into continuing to commit atrocities have left the Horde. The other Warmongers lack any power to get away with atrocities in the Horde if the Horde Council Members were to check into the matter(Warden Stillwater is in such a remote place he probably will never be visited alas).
Geya’rah cares for loyalty and thus would follow the Council’s decisions and thus not force the Horde into conflict with the Draenei. Velen would also not allow the Lightforged to attempt to force Lightforging on the Horde either.
Velen isn’t close to Yrel like AU Velen was so he wouldn’t have a problem standing against her should she attack MU Azeroth. Khadgar would be the one trying to negotiate with her(and failing).
The Horde is finally being purged of what leads it into major conflicts against the Alliance: Corrupt leaders. The Horde Leadership is now fully willing to negotiate which makes them less likely to start wars.
Of course the Alliance Warmongers may have been whipped into such a frenzy that even Warden Stillwater(whom Sylvanas’s loyalists would rally around naturally) would be enough to start a war.
Nonsense. What leads the Horde into major conflicts against the Alliance is faction-war-happy writers. Who have not at all been purged.

I like to headcanon that he finally got up the courage to ask Modera out for dinner.

You may think it’s a good idea to ignore Sylvannas decimating one of the races fo the Alliance and waging war on Kalimdor in order to deal with something that we have no means to do so, but saving the planet gets put on the backburner when the War-Cheif of the Horde is on an extinction path.
What use saving the world when your people are being exterminated?
