If Pre-Flashpoint Eobard didn't vanish when Flashpoint-Eobard came back again to kill Nora then the explaination would be that FakeWells is just a time remnant like "Jay" in S2 and Legends-Eobard is the true version of the Reverse-Flash. Wellsobard is a time remnant for the purpose of explaining current Eobard's memories.

Current Eobard is a time remnant for the purposes of a current "SpeedForce vs Grandfather Paradox" paradox.

Speed Force protects speedsters as a bunker, which is why Eobard traveled from 2000 to 2016 and didn't disappear immediately - since the erasure happened in 2015. He's hunted by Black Flash to "correct" the resulting paradox.

If Eobard gets the spear and resurrects the Thawnes, we get the New Earth comic situation, with him as an unkillable time-traveling paradox.
