This would have likely resulted in leaving Germany in a dominant European position. Over the course of modern history, the worst thing for European stability has been a dominant continental power.
WWII stemming from a humiliated Germany might not have happened, but it's difficult to say that a imposing, bellicose, and likely-equipped-with-a-bomb Germany would be a much better outcome.
