I could see Hela using the Stone to collect the souls and put them in Hel. However, I was reading about the Soul Gem, and it says that the Gem wants to collect souls. If they keep the sentient property of the stone in the MCU, I think there would be some conflict. Hela would want to release the souls into Hel, but the Stone would want to keep them inside, in Soul World. But they could always change aspects of the stone.

Here is a link to the comic, so you can see Heimdall’s eyes.

I also found an old discussion about the Heimdall Soul Stone theory, and one of the people had a good point. They said that we don’t know what definition of soul Heimdall was using when he said he could see trillions of souls. He could have meant he sees beings’ literal souls, or he could have meant seeing beings in general. Like the sayings “not a soul in sight, " "I'll never tell a soul," or "she's a nice old soul." They aren’t referring to literal souls, it’s more figurative.
