Possibly the centuries long war was the subsequent, with all Burrowers having their armies (Egg of Coot style, after all) and using them against one another.
I'd expect the immortals intervening directly in this kind of situation only if there was a Burrower gradually "winning" over other ones and trying tp "unify" them under its command.
Maybe unified Burrowers can potentially summon Outer Beings?
THAT would be a good reason to intervene directly on the Prime plane and with the approval of (more or less) all the other immortals...
I had a second thought about this: if Keres had control over all the Burrowers (and the above quoted stuff is valid...), HE could have summoned an Outer Being (or Thanatos?) to the Prime plane, so possibly Khoronus intervention prevented him from taking control of the critical number of Burrowers required.
Centuries of wars later, when it became clear that a powerful Burrower could actually take control of enough other Burrowers to summon (in its turn) an Outer Being, then there was another intervention to put them all back to sleep...
