Larian are already doing a great job at making sure that whatever the player does, the game has an answer to it. I'm sure that, if Voss dies, a solution could be found to move the quest along. The simplest would probably be to have a different NPC take Voss' place when he is dead.

Actually I just remebered that there is something like this already in the game:

If Zevlor dies during the fight against Minthara, a Tiefling woman will become the new leader of the refugees.

Since there are hints that we will meet the refugees again when we arrive in Baldur's Gate, I imagine Larian already have to deal with this exact problem - that an important NPC dies, but the story must go on. Therefore I don't think it wouldn't be possible to do the same with Voss.
