The Valeyard and Trial of a Timelord were major plot points...
... of the Doctor so unpopular he got fired and the Cartmel Masterplan that was so confusing and unpopular the show got canceled. I just can't see dusting off the Valeyard as a winning move. BBC has to make this show for the masses now, not the fans who fell in love with the show in the early 80s.
I will admit that guest stars/recurring characters are Moffat's strongest suit. He's excellent at creating powerful impressions in a short time.
