It's too easy to say that there would have been no 14-18, 39-45, or any other things. You would likely have seen similar situations leading to similar conflicts in other regions.

Why does Napoléon give the title of King of Italy to his son? Napoléon himself was King of Italy and Emperor in a personal union, and his son was styled "King of Rome", a courtesy title.

Does Napoléon's little creation, the Confederation of the Rhine continue to exist? I'd wager Napoléon would prefer the Confederation of the Rhine excluding a weakened Prussia to a loose German Confederation including weakened Prussia.

Does Murat keep the Kingdom of Naples?

Does Napoleonic France look something like this at Napoléon's death?

The logic behind putting Napoleon II as King of Italy, to me, was giving Napoleon's chosen successor a "training wheels" kingdom to get used to managing the state.  I didn't really see much long-term-viability to the Confederation of the Rhine, even with Napoleon remaining around.

The Confederation of the Rhine was almost quasi-exclusively a military alliance of French client states that provided the French army troops.

Napoleon did propose to Prussia to form a similar North German Confederation, but Prussia refused and Napoleon owned them at Iena.
