About the V debate... It is of course possible that V never encountered Xau-Tak directly, but I don't think it's too unlikely that he could have survived. He had after all ascended. It's possible that, even though they are as fallible as mortals, the minds of the gods are more complex and powerful than we migh think. They might be able to comprehend concepts, or in this case beings, that we cannot.

Oh and one more thing... The cutscene with Rabid Jack's death seems to imply he's
made some sort of deal with Xau-Tak, and that its the reason he's ressurected later on.

What's all this talk o' dead and finished? Don't ye know me? The sea knows me, and I've given lives aplenty to her. She'll not let me die now – or ever!

Does this contradict with the whole eldritch horror vibe, or is Jack just being dramatic and the truth is his crew has just been using Xau-Tak's dark slabs without any direct connection to the entity? -
I have noticed your kind does tend to blindly stumble forward towards danger simply because it exists. What is your word for that?
- We call it being a hero.

I highly doubt he actually struck a deal with a deity. More likely he found out about the affliction of the Cursed Archipelago, used it to not die, found Xau-Tak's old temple before or after the Battle of the Archipelago, rebuilt his fleet and reanimated his crew, and well, we know how it went from there.

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Whether or not... HE (STOP SAYING HIS NAME) made a deal with Xau-Tak depends on if my theory based of the C'thulhu mythos is right or not. If Xau-Tak is actually trapped in the Underwater City like C'thulhu in R'lyeh, then it is highly possible that HE managed to make contact with, and strike a deal with, Xau-Tak. As for him saying "She[The Sea]'ll not let me die - not now or ever!" It could be he was trying to mask Xau-Tak's presence, or even that Xau-Tak had convinced HIM that Xau-Tak himself was a god of the sea, or something of the like. A

I hope Xau-Tak looks like one of the Ancients.

Ulyaoth perhaps, maybe even Mantorok.

Just something that looks almost otherworldly, or just a form that almost seem beyond how we comprehend various beings.

if Xau-Tak is something we can see

if Xau-Tak is something we can see I'm still hoping for a Cthulhu look. A
