Theres also the more traditional Giant Monster under the Sea type of Sleeper, according the Carlos in Cold Case, not just the ones in DR

It's MASSIVELY implied (as I read it) that the Sleeper Carlos mentions is supposed to be Cthulhu, specifically.

Agreed, though I did think that Sleepers was mentioned in the plural, and my vague understanding of Lovecraftian mythos is that there were more than just him down there?

More on the Nature of Cthulhu and its Spawn
https://lovecraftianscience.wordpress.com/2015/08/16/more-on-the-nature-of-cthulhu-and-its-spawn/

In Lovecraft’s original “family tree of the Old Ones” the only cited offspring of Cthulhu is Shaurash-ho and based on the lineage, this offspring was created through asexual reproduction. However, according to Carter’s research into the Ponape Scriptures there was a sexual union, genetic or otherwise, between Cthulhu and an entity named Idh-Yaa. This sexual union occurred on, in or around Xoth, a green star located in the constellation of Taurus. In fact Cthulhu and its Spawn are said to have originated from Xoth. Again, this information is provided in the Ponape Scriptures as cited by Carter and not in the Black Book, which was cited by Lovecraft.

Walkers, outsiders, old ones and sleepers are what demonreach was built to truly contain. From the sound of it, the oblivion war will either wake the sleepers or even let in the bad guys from beyond the gate. I could see the prison then being used to contain those entities so no longer a threat.
