We have to remember that Hitler's goal in Munich was to neutralize Czechoslovakia, with it's powerful fortifications in the Sudetenland and quite a formidable army. If, under this scenario, the war still happens, Hitler would be in very difficult position, encircled by the French, British, Czechoslovaks and, likely, Poles. And without allies (I don't see Mussolini getting involved in the European war in 1938). Also, the USSR was preoccupied by their troubles with the Japanese in the Far East, which is ruling out involvement in the crisis.
In order to advance with his plans, Hitler needed to neutralize Czechoslovakia, so had Chamberlain and Daladier took a firm line, I have no doubts the history would have altered dramatically.
