Naomi lying to Snake is not exactly without precident. I think the main issue would be Snake staying alive would be a huge cop-out. I don't like it when a franchise gets obsessed with telling the same story in slightly different ways (DMC4's "here is yet more information about Dante and Mundus and Virgil even though we already finished this arc" for example), it'd be better to just put Big Boss and the Snakes behind the series and develop a new plot that carries on their legacy.
