He probably would have been Emperor of most of Europe.

Apologies for breaking the echo chamber, but history has proven that most conquerors and dominators have not lasted  vitam aeternam. I think that Napoleon would have ended up being defeated, sooner or later, by the stock of enemies he had. He was not invincible, and time would have worn on him.

But how much longer would it have taken?  Would Alexander still have joined the Allies, or would it have been up to the rest of Europe, which had already sustained very severe losses, to continue fighting Napoleon?

If Napoleon doesn't invade Russia, I don't see the Czar getting involved in the fight, and Napoleon eventually becomes master of Europe; there was no way that the other nations of Europe could have defeated him, and Britain would likely have not gotten involved.

For Napoleon to have not invaded Russia sooner or later would have required that Napoleon not have instituted the Continental System.  No Continental System likely means no Peninsular War.
