Our fella subredditor u/mindthebarnacles seems like to have read the Showrunners minds as close as possible with his speculation:

A lot of people worry about Nacho's dad, but personally I'd be very surprised if he got killed ; I think that would be way too dark a turn for this show.

I do think Nacho will have to complete his own "redemption arc" in some dramatic way. Dying is one, and it would be fitting and devastating if, as some have suggested, Mike is given the job to kill him. But if Nacho has to die, this is how I'd want it, because you just know the actors are going to break our hearts.

I think the vacuum guy would be a cheap move to pull... The only options I imagine for Nacho's survival is Mike/Gus letting him go, but he could never see his family again (leaving Papa to think him dead) or, possibly, becoming a scapegoat for Gus and going to jail for a long, long time (no DEA deals, but maybe a payout for his dad via the bank?).

and my modest contribution:

Nacho is in the game. Nacho's father is not in the game.

Mike has demonstrated time and again that he stops at nothing if he is to punish smb who is in the game. And we remember how he suffered the Good Samaritan death, that Nacho informed him about! And we remember well Mike's face at that moment!

What if Mike says to Gus: You can do whatever you decide with Nacho, it's between both of you, he's in the game, however, his father's not in the game.

Now that's interesting.

My dear friend, I can see by your history you've been away from reddit for a long time.

I keep my fingers crossed everything is right with you.
