DS9 "The Visitor" observation

Just watched "The Visitor" for the first time in years today.
Wonderful episode, but I couldn't help thinking, in lieu of later
events in the series, that the altered timeline was actually better
for the Federation as a whole.

The accident that throws Sisko out of time happened two years before
the Dominion War.  This war, as far as we can see, does not happen in
the "Siskoless" universe.  Apparently, without Sisko around, this war
never happens!  I don't know what specifically Sisko does that makes
the war inevitable, perhaps something like McCoy saving Edith Keeler
from the car accident alters history.  Of course, elderly Jake would
have no way of knowing this when he fixes his father's problem.   If
he did, would he sacrifice his father rather than let so many others
die in a war?

As a further point, apparently (indirectly, of course) Sisko's
presence also causes Jadzia Dax to be killed by Dukat, since we see
the elderly version of her in the alternate timeline.
