There's also the fact, there should still be a time remnant of him in the future who needs to become enemies with Barry in the first place, become Harrison Wells and cause all of season 1 to happen.

My money is on something happens to prevent Eddie from killing himself, thereby removing Eobard's time remnant status entirely. If this happens, then S2 wouldn't happen cause Eddie is a part of it. According to season 1, Pied Piper was evil. But now Hartley's one of the good guys. Or how about Lily Stein's existence, where she was absent in Flash season 1? Yeah, but Stein and Pied Piper hasn't had that much interference in our heroes lives. Stein has a family and he is Firestorm. Hartley now has a social life with his parents. Point is cosmic retcons can happen in fiction and the story keep going. X-Men: Days of Future Past retconned everything before X3. Eddie was much more involved in the story though. Without him, Barry would be dead by now. True, but thing with time travel is you could add that all back in, without effecting previous points in the story. Just like Flashpoint and post-Flashpoint where there were changes here and there that Barry had no recollection of. Like how he forgets that he is now in a grave?
