He would live on in the memories of everyone until at least the 64th Century, just have him say he was pissed that he was forgotten. After all, Eobard planted the information that he is just some guy nobody cares about in the 22nd Century.

Dude it's a freaking magic paradox, it can do pretty much anything and Barry only skimmed the surface, maybe actually being swallowed by it has a different effect. Yeah but for Savitar, that made sense because he was forgetten in present times. Eddie being angry about being forgetten in the distant future would be pathetic. Also watch season one again, does that look like a villian after he had learned about his future fate?

It is science based, not magic. And like all events in science fiction stories, there are rules and consistencies it has to follow. The rules that the Flash novel told was that going in there puts plasma energy in your system. For normal people, they would die. However Barry was a speedster and can fight against it with the energy of the Speed Force. Making him face a sort of cancer equivalant. It also made him hallucinate his enemies and allies.
